Pot now legal in D.C. despite threats from Congress

Smoking marijuana and moderate possession is now officially legal in the District of Columbia, and, in spite of Republican opposition on Capitol Hill, Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) is standing by the change.

Legalization of marijuana in D.C., through Initiative 71, which was voted on in 2014, is about so much more than a lifestyle acceptance or liberal social engineering. Mayor Bowser's defense of decriminalization is also about refusing to allow thousands of D.C. area youth and African American citizens, who are grossly over-represented in arrests and prosecution for marijuana-related offenses - to continue to be victimized by unfair enforcement of anti-drug laws. As of 2014, African Americans in Washington, D.C. - most of whom live east of the Anacostia River - were eight times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession, than whites.

I am so PROUD of my mayor, today, ..and I voted for Carol Schwartz. No kidding. I am proud, because she is principled, courageous and, most importantly, because she is standing up for her city.

Mantente fuerte, Mayor Bowser. Read more...

ON CAPICOSTIA: TRYING TO OPEN A DOOR WITH A THOUSAND WRONG KEYS - SEX THERAPY AND THE WASHINGTON MAN

"...WHAT IS SEX THERAPY? Sex therapy, at its core, is a specialized form of psychotherapy aimed at addressing sexual issues and improving sexual health. Think of it as the emotional and psychological component of sexual and reproductive health. Whether it’s concerns about libido, sexual intercourse, or emotional connectivity in intimate relationships, sex therapy offers a safe space for exploration and resolution..." Therapy Group of DC NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR PENIS? NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR GAME OR APPROACH? THIS has nothing to do with THAT. Sexual HEALTH is LIVING HEALTH. Sexuality is how men and women form relationships to make more people, solve social problems, model healthy relationships for others (esp. younger people) and a way, though not the only way, that humans keep each other happy and healthy and keeping our WORLD going.
