Query by Pilgrim: California made health-related marijuana legal. There’s a federal law against it. Vendors trying to sell it . . .
. . . have been arrested and/or shut down.
Why?
The answer is that only individuals who have a contract with the federal government are topic to federal law. Every corporation or licensed retailer has a contract with the federal government or subsidiary of the federal government, and consequently, cannot legally offer marijuana to those with a Dr’s prescription.
Also, these with a prescription who have a contract with the fed cannot legally acquire it.
The supreme law of the land is the Constitution, but you can voluntarily give up constitutional rights by contract, and most folks have.
I guess the question is “Do you agree?”.

oops!
dsanthony: you have caught me in a mis-statement. I should have mentioned only those with a contract with the federal government are topic to federal codes, legislation, rules and/or statutes. The supreme law of the land does affect all of us.

Federal anti-marijuana laws are outdated and were initially based on misinformation but they are still the law. States do not have the authority to make laws which defy federal law.
I think that law is wacky. You either outlaw it or you don’t! As long as it is not legal to sell in the streets then I dont see what the problem is really.
if they know what they’re doing, yes i agree, the problem is, when you give something up without knowing what you’re losing…you’re cheated out of what rights you had.
legalization.
No, I do not agree with you. That just isn’t how it works and you need to do more research. However, those that have been prescribed medicinal marijuana CAN purchase it legally. They must place their orders in Mexico, Canada, or another country who distributes medicinal marijuana. They may also grow their own, but there is a limit on the amount they may have. Marijuana grows naturally in many parts of USA, and in almost every single state. I suggest that the person with the prescription go out and harvest some on their own. You can grow it from seed or from trimmings.
The age old battle of state vs. federal government. Every year there are raids and every year the law stands in California… so I guess unless California secedes from the union this battle will rage and Drs will continue to prescribe it…So who wins? In this case it seems to be the patient…
The federal law overrides any law written by any state or local government, so no matter how yuo vote on local issues, if it violates federal laws, you just wasted your time by voting.
If one were to really research the matter, I think you will find that the growing of marijuana is so simple, that the government is at a loss as the method to tax it, and have complete control over it’s production, therefor, it’s illegal.
Money my friend, money, and control.
