This August marks the 70th anniversary of Congress passing laws to ban the recreational use of marijuana in the United States. Hear the other side this Friday and Saturday, August 24th and 25th with the arrival of comedic star Rob Cantrell, finalist on NBC's "Last Comic Standing" and member of the hit show "The Marijuana Logs". Not since The Declaration of Independence was drafted on hemp paper has D.C. been so on the verge of turning pro-green. Other comics performing include Robb Loving, Erik Myers and Sean Savoy.

So come on down and get high on laughter this weekend at Riot Act Comedy Club -- Showtimes are 9 and 11pm on Friday and Saturday. Tickets are $17 and can purchased online at www.riotactcomedy.com or by calling 202 625-6229.
