What are they gonna do, invade Colorado and Washington? Impose martial law over pot?

Voters on those two states have started down a path towards shifting not just national, but GLOBAL drug policy. There will be a dozen states with legal pot within the next five years, and even more after that.

This is the beginning of the end of prohibition.

They legalized its consumption, not its production or distribution. Meaning, you can't go to jail for possession (but you can go for producing it.)

I don't think possession was a felony in any of the States it was legalized in, either, but I could be wrong on that.

That's kind of the point, the fact that you worded it in that manner to say "You don't know what it's like, so you don't know what I am or aren't" completely shows you to be a junkie.

I smoke but I do it in moderation, you fucks smoke so much that if it were food you'd be too big for your bed.

>>7007801

I work at Publix. We have frequent drug tests because of paranoid Christian managers. I wish I could smoke, but I'd lose my job.

So no, I'm not a junkie. I used to enjoy a joint every now and then, but it was not an every day thing. Weed isn't fun when you smoke every day and when you smoke alone(in most cases). I prefer to smoke with some close friends.

I agree that there are some people that go too far with it, but you can say that about anything, including fast food.

none of you asshats realize that this was the PLAN.

the narcotics convention of 1961, which the US was very much apart of still stands to this day. because it is legal at the state level and illegal at the federal level, Read: we are still abiding by the convention. the US has "a have our cake and eat it too" scenario.

>>7009004
>>7009261
PLEASE ANSWER
>>
>>7009261
The State government has it legal, but the Federal government can step in and say No, that shit is still illegal. I am not 100% sure how things work in the states, as they work different in Canada. Like in BC pot is decriminalised, so if you have a small amount and you are caught by local police it generally is no biggie, but if the RCMP catches you it is a bit different. Not sure who local police forces answer to: state government or the federal government.
>>
>>7009261
no, the state has basically told the DEA and the feds: "You wanna enforce it? go ahead. not our job anymore"

so unless you get pulled over by the FBI. nobody is going to do shit.
>>
>>7009261

State cops won't enforce federal law. You have to be raided by the DEA or some federal agent to be arrested.
>>
>>7010015
and even then, they will probably just harass you without filing charges. trying to prosecute anyone will just create martyrs. the federal government is going to just ignore colorado and pretend nothing is happening.
>>
>>7009657
State level authorities are no longer tied into having to fight the DEA's failed war and can go about ignoring pot user's, growers, and or sellers within the limits of the law. The FEDERAL authorities can still raid your shit though this includes any of the Alphabet soup National agencies such as FBI, ATF, DEA, etc. and any AUSA's vetted by the federal government.

>>
>>7009004
No, local government is not required to enforce Federal laws.
>>
>>7009733
and really, they are going to go after the storefronts and grow ops.

washington's law is brilliant, as it means the DEA has to go after state-licensed grow ops and state-owned stores. this and the tax dollars these stores should bring in make it very much in the state police and state government's interest to proactively fight the dea and the rest of the feds in regards to the weed laws.

So basically, you can have up to an ounce of cannabis in colorado and you can grow up to 6 plants (in an enclosed space). You must be 21.
In washington there isn't much info. You must be 21.

Feds will raid the shit out of the state. "Obama told the feds to lay off"... that was for California with 'medical' dispensaries.

In reality, the feds don't need to raid. They just need to tell the state they will withhold federal funding of some kind if they keep it legal. Same reason every state has a drinking age of 21.
