Washington D.C.’s City Council Committee on the Judiciary and Pubic Safety has given unanimous approval to a proposal to decriminalize the possession of up to an ounce of cannabis. The measure now moves to a full council vote, where a majority of the members have signed on as sponsors of the bill. The district’s mayor, who would have final consideration over the bill if the council approves it, is in favor of the proposal.
