WASHINGTON, DC Congressman Sal Dennison (D-OH) successfully inserted an amendment into a House bill, which would legalize marijuana for his own personal use.
I thought Id give it a shot, said Dennison, referring to how he snuck the one-sentence amendment into a bill on highway funding. It was more of an experiment, to see if anyone would notice.

HR 4885, The Highway Improvement and Pot Legalization for Representative Dennison Act, passed both houses of Congress and was signed into law by President Obama on Monday. Rep. Dennison is now the only American citizen legally allowed to use marijuana for any purpose, recreational or medicinal.
Dennison has turned his office on Capitol Hill into a sort of nursery for marijuana plants. Cannabis leaves sprout from every drawer and cabinet. A jar on his desk contains dozens of hand-rolled marijuana cigarettes. He freely admits his addiction to pot smoking and recently told his constituents that he really doesnt want to do anything else. They responded by donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to his reelection campaign.
