In D.C., grow your own at home?

The D.C. Council is considering a home cultivation option for legalized marijuana, through which people who need the drug for medical use could have up to two plants growing in their home with a city-issued license.

Congress, by approving the District’s 2010 budget, allowed D.C. to legalize marijuana for medical use as city voters elected to do in a 1998 referendum. Legalization is on hold, for now, until the council adopts a new law.
