i understand your point of view and respect your right to express it
but here is what was said
quote
“Allowing state law enforcement to ignore state decriminalization law—by relying on federal prohibition law—
violates fundamental constitutional principles of the separation of powers among the branches of state government,
and of federalism’s respect for state sovereignty,
~
that being said it's now a matter of Economics
the federal government has poured in more than a trillion dollars into
the war on drugs or the pot prohibition... since 1950
that's more than all the money spent in the gulf wars
and it did not accomplish the goal intended
cannabis is now hands down the united states biggest cash crop
and allowing the black market to be the only people making a profit
can no longer be tolerated given the "CHANGE" nationwide towards medical cannabis
which the government swore on a stack of bibles HAD no medical
uses what so ever... this coming from a government that was growing and distributing cannabis
just like tobacco as pre rolled cigarettes to a couple dozen Patients with various medical problems.
So the times they are a changin..... it seems
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
NEBE Taxing the Hell out of Something isn't right either
I mean that's how the Revolutionary war got Started when
England began to over tax the tea and then the Boston Tea Party
basically Flipped the Bird @ the queen sayin F-You Queen Beotch
and soon the red coats were coming.... and Paul Revere was riding
~
One thing i can tell you after reading many hundreds of comments
on blogs discussing this subject is that there is NOTHING more controversial than prohibition ..... NOTHING
i want it to earn tax revenue for each state Fairly but not to the point
it's utterly ridiculous any more than beer should be taxed @ $20 dollars per bottle.

referencing the Obama administration’s vow to keep their hands off of the shift in laws applicable to marijuana legalization at a state level. “The SJC has interpreted the law that if you do shake someone down, then that evidence goes out the window. You can’t use federal law to bypass the state law. [
The Cruz decision] is the law—like it or lump it, it’s the law.”
