John Mica, fake joint roll into pot hearing

Call it a joint committee hearing.

Rep. John Mica (R-Fla.) brought a rolled marijuana cigarette to a House Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee hearing Friday.

Mica was quick to add that it was not a real joint — simply a visual prop to illustrate the potential consequences of the new Washington, D.C., marijuana decriminalization law.

“I have this joint here,” Mica started, before adding: “Don’t get too excited. … This is not a real one, it’s a mock one.”
