District of Columbia Councilman David Grosso is determined to institute a regulated marketplace for legal marijuana in the nation’s capital. For the third time in just over three years, Grosso, an at-large councilmember, introduced a bill to tax and regulate cannabis sales in D.C. on Tuesday. The Marijuana Legalization and Regulation Act of 2017 was co-introduced by two other D.C. councilmembers, Robert White and Brianne Nadeau.
D.C. is “in limbo status where [cannabis] is legal but it’s not legal, and I would love for us to get to a point where it’s regulated like alcohol,” Grosso told Law Street.
