ounces of marijuana on your person on pennsylvania avenue and you're not smoking, that's perfectly legal. but if you step on the sidewalk along pennsylvania avenue that's u.s. park service property and you could be arrested. ward two council member jack evans notes it will also still be illegal to buy or sell marijuana. >> there are so many unanswered questions around that, if you're going to grow it how do you get the seeds, because that's illegal. >> repor with all the confusion, mayor m is to meet with the d.c. council tuesday morning to lay out how she'll advise the public on the law before thursday. d.c. attorney general carl racine is helping draft a public statement. some in congress have complained about the law, but there's been no new effort to block it. >> one thing folks need to keep in mind is that the district is acting consistent with the trend in other states. >> reporter: it's unclear if congress will act to block the law this week. the city is publicly assuming that it won't.

members of congress are actually going to discuss this tomorrow morning but there's been no move the try to block it this year. >> seems ridiculous. shouldn't we have figured out how this works before it is enacted, before the law becomes law? >> the district of columbia every law was subject to congressional review and change on any number of levels. last year the congress passed a saw that says the city could not enact the marijuana law that was now going into effect thursday. but the city said we're not enacting it. the voters enacted it back in november. we're just implementing the law. >> i hear that. what i'm saying enable whatever the case maine, but shouldn't there be guidelines shouldn't there be some rules, shouldn't people know -- what you just said you stood in the middle of pennsylvania and it's legal to hold it. you step on the sidewalk it's illegal. how is anybody going to know? how are the police going to know? >> the police will be briefed on what the thaw laue will mean. the mayor will try to get the word out in the next 48 72

hours. but it goes to show when the congress acted last year it prohibited the city from creating a new law that would regulate and even tax marijuana. so the congress acted to stop in the implementation of the law except for the law going into effect itself. we've been warning about this for a couple weeks. it's confusing. wait till thursday night. >> there we go. thanks tom. at 6:00 news4 is digging into problems on the metro. how smoke incidents on the rails this year compared to years past and what the agency is doing about it. jeremiah wright's been months that residents here at presidential greens have complained to management that money and other items turn up missing when they have repair jobs done . they all suspected a nus in a former political leader in virginia faci
