Should regulations be in place? Or should there be self medication? Thoughts?

Thus far, it appears most are Pro and endorse the legalization of marijuana for medical purposes.

Nicely put.

I've noticed that the best threads have multiple sides. On that note, I thought this discussion would be perfect for Washington's wonderful and ecelectic personalities. The purpose of this thread is to discuss marijuana and compare both sides of the issue of legalizing marijuana. We have two factions fighting each other ; one those who are pro marijuana and those who are anti marijuana. These two factions have been fighting on this issue on the halls of justice for years. Now, what are your thoughts and can you back them up?

iamme, How about sending in your photo and contact information anyway. Age be damned. They can make the decision from there.

Just swang by before heading out and saw the posting! You sooooooooooooo Rock!! Thanks You're just a sexy beast, aren't cha?! PS - got a scoop for ya on a shindig tonight...

I'm not sure there has been a complete halt to DC's nightlife. It just seems as if we're waiting for something incredible - and the anticipation seems to go on and on. I think things started to get a little iffy after a series of events in the area over the past few years put a damper on things - but not for long With the crash of the Internet boom, September 11 and the sniper - things just got wierd for us.

FunkyFresh - you certainly found some pics, naughty me Vixen - thanks again. I'll check my inbox and start prowling the music scene this week. I've been to Red, Five, Nation, Modern and a ton of other places, but I will be much more in tune with the music and DJ's this time around. I really appreciate your input and will be sure to check out everyone you recommended, including yourself. I'll have to bring some friends to get the real feel Thanks again.

This thread has been very enlightening, intelligent and thought provoking. You've inspired me to research the local music scene even more thoroughly. I want to thank you for the fresh perspective on our area's nightlife, sometimes we, as humans, tend to stick with what we know and fail to expand our perceptions of what is hot now. On that note, you've given me an epiphany. We're currently working on new content: DC's Top Ten Promoters, I think DC's Top Ten DJ's would really work with that...hot, hot hot. Let me know your thoughts on the ideas and if you have some DJ suggestions (nights and location) for us to check out and include. It's time for some fresh ideas and content; thank you for the awakening

First off, I love your screen name. Secondly, you are correct, I should have qualified the original statement better by saying that it "felt" like a night in Ibiza. Afterall, when it first opened in 1998 that how we were perceiving it - new, exotic, exciting, liberating and very fashionable; especially to someone in their early twenties. The whole city was alive with colour , movement and energy. The Dot com's were blasting through the ceiling on Wall Street, Clinton had not yet had the Lewinsky scandel and MCCXXIII came on the scene. Such a place hadn't really been seen on Connecticut or in downtown. Now don't get me wrong, Washington is still very much alive with exhilaration and passion, fresh faces and ideas, culture and colour; however, 1223 is not. Admittedly, they now have a well done website and great promoters who currently bring in some big celebrity names, but that does not make up for the souless nature the club now possesses. Review after review, and posting after posting - all over the web MCCXXIII has been getting rated by the public and those ratings continue to spiral downword. Our subscribers have emailed us time and time again, that our previous review needed to be updated and now it has. On another note, we've never received or heard of any complaints from our subscribers or others about the music or DJ's, just the rest of the staff. I really hope they do something to turn that negative image around soon, it would be a pleasure to hear something positive again about a place I once enjoyed so much.

HOT OR HYPE: Want the skinny on DC's clubs? We've go a few opinions here, other than those listed on the DC Social Insider.com Dance page, and we're not being that sweet about it. Get the real 411 on dc's nightclubs. New reviews every month starting in Sept, 2003. MCCXXIII/SPANK (1223) 1223 Connecticut Ave NW Washington, DC 202-293-1850 Alas, one of Washington's hottest nightspots has deteriorated into a nightmare . It was the best of times; it was the worst of times. Actually... it is the worst. Tourists and newbies continue to visit MCCXXIII/Spank for its name and its outdated reputation as "the place to go,†but what once was unrivaled in DC’s distinctive club scene is now tired and dingy, lifelessly holding on to its glory days. The VIP's and avant-garde elite no longer fill the club once vibrant with cosmopolitan intensity, where self-styled intellectuals and fashionistas converged within its walls and "beds". Once upon a time, a trip to its secured upper floors was like a night in Ibiza, alas due to feebleminded doormen, inept concierge/hostesses, oh-so-painfully-slow waitresses, and notably high prices MCCXXIII/Spank is a mere shadow of her former self. The club is now mediocre at best, hostile, crass and appalling at worst. Club-squatters in worn-out clothing and discouraged nightlife denizens wander around aimlessly in front, while the doormen look vacantly around, listlessly standing nearby with much ado about nothing as if willfully ignorant of the march of time. Add to that the vapid and dull hostess and things just don't get better. Once inside, relief in the form of a beverage can be as remote as water in the Sahara. Thirsty? Count on staying that way... more online at www.dcsocialinsider.com
