From DC's anarchist cartoonist Mike Flugennock:
"Your Home Should Be A Safe Space"

Despite the personal possession and use of cannabis being legal in DC, residents of Federally-subsidized Section 8 public housing are prohibited from smoking in their homes. Because Congress prohibits DC from enacting Tax'n'Regulate and the DC government prohibits public consumption in bars and clubs, folks in Section 8 have the choice of risking immediate eviction and possible imprisonment by smoking in their homes, or smoking on the street and risking arrest for smoking in public.
It's no wonder Section 8 is often referred to as "prison you pay rent for".
