If The DC Cops Have Seized Your Weed Apparently You Can Walk Into The Police Station And Get It Back

RT – A Washington, DC man walked into a police station, and asked for marijuana. The cops gave it to him. It’s no joke or riddle, but the reality of pot legalization in the nation’s capital. However, there is a hitch ? the weed already belonged to him. “He walked in to recover his property from a recent arrest,” Ward 7 Councilmember Yvette Alexander, who was told of the exchange by a staff member who witnessed it, told WAMU. “He walked in and said, ‘I want my property back, and want to make sure I get my weed back’.” “Dude said, ‘I want my weed back’,” she told the Washington City Paper. “The police gave him his weed back. He knew the law.”

A person whose marijuana or marijuana-infused edible goods was seized pursuant to Part IV.D. [Possession of Two Ounces or Less of Marijuana by Persons Appearing to Be Under 21 Years of Age] may seek the return of their property by visiting the station in the District where the marijuana was seized no sooner than 24 hours after the seizure

USA! USA! USA!

For every stupid law we have…and we have a lot of stupid laws, it’s good to see you can trot on down to your nearest police station and get your weed back if it was taken from you before. Makes me feel like actual progress is being made outchea. Two weeks ago (if you were black) you couldn’t smoke weed without being thrown in jail. Now you can waltz into a police station and walk out with an ounce. It’s pretty cool. It’s like we’re inching closer and closer to everyone being cool with weed. Pretty wild that in say…10 years, probably even less, it’s going to be completely standard to see pot shops on the corner the way we see liquor stores now.
