DC and Medical Maijuana

As some people may know, nearly a year ago the District passed a law legalizing the medical use of marijuana. This has become a trend throughout the united states. However in the District it has been moving rather slowly, nearly a year after the law was passed no one is selling or distributing the drug, legally at least. Many people view this as sign that our society is easing its view on weed as a drug. I do agree with this but I don't think that it is a step towards all marijuana being legal. We as a society are still far away from saying that weed will be legal. I do think that it is a good thing for D.C. to allow medical marijuana because it allows many people with painful conditions to lessen pain and live more comfortably.
