Initiative 71 was a Washington, D.C. voter-approved ballot initiative that legalized the recreational use of cannabis. The short title of the initiative was ''Legalization of Possession of Minimal Amounts of Marijuana for Personal Use Act of 2014''. The measure was approved by 64.87% of voters on November 4, 2014 and went into full effect February 26, 2015 at 12:01 a.m.〔https://www.dcboee.org/election_info/election_results/2014/November-4-General-Election〕 == Creation == In 2012, the states of Washington and Colorado passed Washington Initiative 502 and Colorado Amendment 64 respectively, legalizing the recreational use of cannabis. In 2013, local activist Adam Eidinger formed a skeleton organization "DCMJ" to advocate decriminalization of marijuana in the District.〔https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/mike-debonis/wp/2013/04/17/marijuana-policy-groups-kick-off-d-c-legalization-campaign-with-poll/〕 after seeing no movement from the city council, he submitted initial paperwork for a decriminalization ballot initiative, which was rejected by the city in late 2013 on technical budgetary grounds. Eidinger then refined and resubmitted his initiative, now strengthened to call for full legalization of marijuana.〔https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-politics/proposed-dc-marijuana-initiative-to-be-reworked-to-address-ags-objections/2013/09/04/a47fd92e-1561-11e3-a2ec-b47e45e6f8ef_story.html〕 In an interview with the ''Washington Post'', Eidinger attributed his inspiration to legalize marijuana to his experiences in the 2011 police raids on his Capitol Hemp retail store, which was forced into closure by the city.〔https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/local/wp/2015/02/24/top-d-c-pot-activist-plans-to-reopen-capitol-hemp-in-adams-morgan/〕 On January 10, 2014, Eidinger's DC Cannabis Campaign submitted a ballot initiative to the District of Columbia Board of Elections.〔 Hearings were held in February and March, and on April 4, 2014, the board finalized the ballot initiative language.〔
