I figured it would be a bit more lax in NOVA considering the close proximity to DC and the fact that they have quasi legal weed there.

I'm not a zealot when it comes to Marijuana, I don't partake, and I'm annoyed by it (living in CA the smell of it gets a bit much sometimes), but there really isn't any reason that it shouldn't be legal. Just my opinion of course.

Falls Church city is kind of snobby, especially to outsiders, so it doesn't really surprise me that she got cited. All about keeping the "riff-raff" out of the city. They're pretty notorious for that kind of behavior. As long as there weren't extenuating circumstances, like kids in the car, she should do ok in state court. I agree with getting an attorney under all circumstances.

Even with marijuana being legal in California, smoking it in your car, even while parked could get you a DUI. No different than drinking in the car. Loss of license, car impounded, DUI classes, heavy fines, etc. Cost a minimum of 10K.
