CBS Local in Washington reported giving away up to an ounce of marijuana is legal, as long as it doesn’t happen on federal ground.DCMJ tweeted the arrests were for distributing on federal ground, and included a map showing where they were stationed, writing, “We weren’t on federal property!”Another pro-marijuana protest is planned for April 24, in response to the arrests.
