House Republicans next year will try to block Washington, D.C.'s, newly enacted law legalizing recreational marijuana.

Rep. Andy Harris said he "absolutely" intends to launch a push to dismantle the new law when Congress returns with an empowered GOP majority in the 114th Congress.

The Maryland Republican, who led the GOP's charge this year against a separate D.C. law decriminalizing the drug, said the newer legalization statute poses an even greater health risk for young people in the nation's capital.

"It's obviously even worse for D.C.'s teenagers and young adults than the decriminalization," Harris said Thursday.

2. Maybe all of you in DC should put together a goodie bag of edibiles for the Pubs in congress to

try on their lunch hour. Hell, invite them for lunch. It MIGHT mellow them out enough that they will forget why they oppose this new idea.

3. I wish I could

I live in AK. But they are trying to stop recreational sales in my town, though. Idiots. We need a Wine and Weed Mixer for them. I know Boehner would come just for the Vino.

4. The Kochs bankroll CATO, which is pro-legalization (nt)

5. Have you ever dealt with crackheads?

They are not pro weed. Kochheads is a play on crackheads. And I do not care what they say on paper. They also donate to the United Negro College fund. They are still not pro negro.

6. As with so many other things.

The West half of this country will lead, and the East half will lag.

7. Which side is up

Why don't we drug test Andy Harris right now. It's always the righteous screaming repubs that end up getting busted for the issue they demonize others for.

8. A Republican is concerned about D.C. teens?

That is a first!
