Proponents of a marijuana legalization ballot initiative made their case to the Board of Elections this morning.

D.C. Attorney General Irv Nathan sent a letter to the Board of Elections yesterday urging them not to approve DCMJ 2014’s ballot initiative to legalize small amounts of marijuana, saying that it violates federal law.

Local marijuana activist group DCMJ 2014 will submit their final ballot initiative language to the D.C. Board of Elections by the end of this week.
