Happy National Marijuana Day, hippies, because you will soon be able to get marijuana legally if you're all fukk'd up and dying: "The D.C. Council unanimously approved a bill Tuesday to allow chronically ill patients to receive a doctor's prescription to use marijuana and buy it from a city-sanctioned distribution center. Under the bill, which passed without debate, a patient who suffers from HIV, glaucoma, cancer or a 'chronic and lasting disease' may receive a doctor's recommendation to possess up to 2 ounces of marijuana in a 30-day period." Make your picks now for which congressman will pick up the ol' penny on the sidewalk and pretend to try to block this for a few days. [Washington Post]
