Be sure to take a 15-minute break every hour.
On any given delivery my disabled friend gets no less than 3 different bags for 3 different strains. The variety pack has like 7 1-gram baggies in one big bag. She keeps those baggies separate because she likes to know what she's smoking, because different strains have different effects and she likes to compare them. She also keeps the bags for storing ash to throw away and stems and keef to keep.

Multiple bags = Dealer is a terrible terrible TERRIBLE assumption to make.

Nope, those are still federal land where federal law applies. Once decrim goes into effect in DC, crossing no small number of streets with a joint will be enough to take you from a ticket to a year in prison.

Federal laws are still in force all over the country, FWIW. It's just a matter if the officer that sees you smokgin wants to make it an arrest, and who pays the officer. Until the either the Supreme Court or Congress does something, the Federal schedules are still the law and appealing to local decriminalizations will not help your case if you face an officer that wants to make the arrest and a DA that wants the conviction.

So (speaking hypothetically, because this is probably not going to happen), how does this work in practice? DC Capital Police, as I understand it, have jurisdiction for a few blocks around Congress, or anywhere while serving on protective detail or dealing with a violent crime. If that's the case, it sounds like he couldn't do anything to someone smoking across the street from a block that is under their jurisdiction. And on the other hand, let's say someone from DC Metro Police stops you while smoking on city jurisdiction, can they hand you over to federal law enforcement for federal prosecution? How about on federal property - can DCMPD even detain someone there in the first place, and if they can are they required to hand you over to the federal law enforcement with jurisdiction there?

Public consumption is still a criminal offense under DC law. The bill was going to change that, but the chief of police and mayor's office whined enough that it was removed.

The District Court for the District of Columbia would have many, many ways to declare that unconstitutional without even touching on drug testing, like for example, the fact that the president can't just order someone in the legislature to do something.

Considering how Congress treats the District, DCMPD will probably be happy to ignore the Feds on this, so it's very unlikely they would turn you over, plus they already have actual city police poo poo to deal with. Most of the federal law enforcement is concentrated downtown around the Mall where the federal buildings are so that is still definitely off limits if you want to stay out of jail. Add to that a lot of the green space across the city administered by the National Park Service, which means US Park Police.

Either way I wouldn't gently caress around with smoking across the street or anything like that, I'm sure they would love to make an example out of someone.

Yeah this is why the Capitol Police exist among other things, there's a pretty massive constitutional firewall between Executive and Legislative.

No, because one in ten Americans is a Californian and people from other States just like to poo poo on us for totally reasonable reasons. Well, let's specify: Southern Californians, we're extremely materialistic, fake, and don't talk to anyone outside our clique, and sometimes not even then. Bay Area types and those in the North hate on Southern Californians, but when they go anywhere else they don't get treated as special and unique snowflakes. They're equally disliked. They've got the same attitude but they're generally more of a hairy hipster breed (women included) and brag about 'OMG OUR WEED IS SO MUCH BETTER" and like to say things like hell-a. So douches as well, just different douches.

I say this as a Californian (San Diego) born and raised for 28 years now living in Texas (GUESS WHICH CITY!?) :D We get a lot of hate here for good reasons, not by race but just because of our attitudes and how our rich parents and richer grandparents who 'totally all live on the coast' are buying property here like crazy and building McMansions in just about every "poor two years ago but now a totally hip and gentrified part" on the city.

They all hate us but secretly love us. I swear, I see more people wearing t-shirts with the California flag more in Texas than at any time while living in CA. I'm sure a lot of them are transplants but there's way too many for just that.

One of the Austin mayoral debate questions raised by the audience several years ago was "How will you stop Californians from moving to Austin?"

Really they're just an easy target to blame for the rapid gentrification and overpopulation of the city when they're more of a symptom. Most of the people moving to Austin are moving from the rest of Texas.
