The Blue Board

it was decriminalized up to a point.

this is completely different

are you ALWAYS wrong?

well thats just stupid. SO what was the point. Was this vote just to make Colorado people feel like their voice counts. When really the Feds run our life no matter how we vote or what we say. Thats doesn't sound like a free country to me.

while this is technically true, and will most likely be figured out by the courts, there are several approaches that can be taken by the state, if it has the will to.

it is legal in the state of colorado. If they state legislature passes a "fully informed jury act," then the juries in federal court will have to be informed of the state law and that they should nullify the verdict even at the federal court.

there are other things that colorado could do to stand up for its citizens, which would be fffking hillarious.

but, yes... the DEA could still look to prosecute, though it will have a tough time without local support.

do it even then. just don't have any on you.

The Big thing will be lawsuits, obviously the Feds won't crack down on people smoking a joint or something. I am not against it being legalized at all...IDK why anybody wants to do it, but to each their own. However, I don't like the way they are going about it Federal Law trumps state law, it is illegal in the United States, it may suck but it is the case. If Colorado can do as it wants with Marijuana, then Arizona should be able to do what it wants with immigration. Either states abide by all federal laws or they don't abide by any.

Immigration is enumarated to the federal government. Don't recall anything about drugs though.

I am in favor of states rights, including on this issue, but not this way. States shouldn't just do what they want and dare the Feds to stop them. There is a proper way of doing things. If states want states rights should should quit conceding them to Washington an get them back. But not violate the law.

stop it with the logic.

i think he's just a curmudgeon, really...

so get the fffk off his lawn

if you were in charge way back when, we'd still be a ffffkin colony.

knock it off and join a cause

We are way past enumerated powers in this day and age, unfortunately, and no liberal has any right to use it as an argument...so either federal law trumps state law or it doesn't.

Has anyone here said it doesn't? I clearly said the difference is enforcement.

sadly, you don't get it.

a federal law on drugs is clearly not enumerated, which means that it is not constitutional.

which means that it is not just

you're just mad that it is a republican law and it is illegal
