WASHINGTON (AP) - Now that recreational marijuana is legal in the nation's capital, city leaders want to make clear that it's not OK to smoke in private clubs. The D.C. Council will take up emergency legislation on Tuesday that defines private clubs as "public places" under the city's new marijuana law. As of last week, people can possess up to 2 ounces of pot and smoke in private residences. Smoking in public remains illegal, and it's against the law to buy or sell the drug. The legislation is meant to close a potential loophole that could allow private clubs to charge a membership fee and host pot parties. City voters approved an initiative legalizing pot last year. Mayor Muriel Bowser allowed it to take effect despite an attempt by Congress to block it.
