The Chairman is referring this legislation sequentially to the Committee on Judiciary and Public Safety until July 15, 2017, and then to the Committee of the Whole. As introduced, this bill legalizes the possession, consumption, display, purchasing, or transporting of marijuana and marijuana infused products for private personal use. Persons who possess marijuana must be over twenty one years of age and those under twenty one years of age shall be subject to a civil infraction. The limit, regarding possession of marijuana, is 2 ounces or less of dried marijuana and up to 16 ounces of marijuana infused products in solid form and seventy-two ounces in liquid form, or 5 grams or less of hashish. The bill provides that consumption is not permitted in public. It amends current applicable laws to decriminalize certain amounts of marijuana, marijuana infused products, as well as marijuana related paraphernalia. It establishes the licensing and regulation infrastructure for the marijuana retail industry and establishes a dedicated marijuana fund. It designates that the Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration shall receive all income from taxes, licensing fees, penalties, and forfeitures related to the District of Columbia marijuana industry. The legislation clarifies the applicability of the Legalization of Marijuana for Medical Treatment Amendment Act of 2010 and makes adjustments to District of Columbia regulations regarding the legal limit of THC concentration allowed while operating a motor vehicle.
