Last week, I was over at a friend’s house when he pulled out this lid of something really fresh, pulled out this big stinky bud, handed it to me and invited me to take a good smell — and man, was that some stanky-ass stuff.

So, anyway, my buddy asked me to guess where it was from; I ran down the standard guesses — Humboldt, Maui — but you could’ve knocked me over with a feather when he told me that sticky, smelly bud was grown right here in DC, in Ward 8.

All I could think of is how things could possibly be, this time next year, if Prop 71 goes through, allowing three mature plants. It also reminded me that DC has a state fair now. Can’t wait to see next year’s Blue Ribbon Ward 8 Skunk Bud.

“No More Mike Browns!” Wash DC 08.30.14 from Mike Flugennock on Vimeo.

The explosion of public outrage over the current wave of police terrorism shows no signs of letting up. Here’s the third night of actions in Washington, DC in solidarity with Ferguson, MO and victims of police terrorism all over the US. We took H Street Northeast and held it all night long.

Don’t look now, folks, but the Moment is turning into a Movement.

Those of you who’ve been following the recent decriminalization of marijuana in DC — and the current Initiative 71 legalization campaign — have had a little taste of how badly Congress jerks us around in terms of self-government and self-determination.

We’ve had meddling Congressmen trying to scuttle our gun control laws, prevent us from funding abortions and, most recently, the notorious Maryland Rep. Andy Harris trying to stop us from implementing marijuana decriminalization — and probably one of the biggest fears right now is that Congress will try to interfere in the upcoming election here, where we’ll be electing a new Mayor, and voting on whether or not to legalize marijuana.

So… when we last left DC, it was being bullied by the Federal Government in the person of one US Rep. Andy Harris of Maryland, over DC’s city council vote to decriminalize marijuana.

What I didn’t find out until just last week is that Harris ran with the Tea Party and was elected as part of the big Teabagger Wave. And here he is, using Federal power to interfere with the affairs of State and local governments. So, how’s that going down with the “base”, Mr. Get The Feds Off Our Backs?
