A California-based organic soap maker is putting big money into a ballot initiative that would legalize marijuana in D.C., following similar donations to initiatives that did the same in Colorado and Washington state.
David Bronner, owner of Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps, has donated $20,000 to the initiative, which was filed with the D.C. Board of Elections in January. If it makes it to the November ballot and is approved by voters, D.C. residents over the age of 21 would be allowed to possess up to two ounces of marijuana, sell one ounce at a time and keep three mature plants in their homes.
