Sessions, Pot, The UNITED S Of A, & State Laws That Are Illegal

Can states override federal laws by voting them out of their territory?

  • Yes

  • No


Results are only viewable after voting.
No, it doesn't. States are sovereign within their jurisdiction. And, if legal for Commerce, it Must be Regulated as such by the general government of the Union.
So if a handful of rogue states wanted to legalize heroin, no problem? All the other states would have to just shut up and take it?

Nice try. Idiot. A change in federal policy happens with the voices of all 50 states or no change is possible.

Thanks for playing.

You need to get some morals, and abstain and just say no.
 
^^You need to go back to high school and study how American Government operates.
 
States can absolutely make something legal within the state even if Federal law doesn't.

U.S. Government 101.

I appreciate your spirit, but if that were the case, there'd be no such thing as federal laws. What's going on is bordering on sedition. It's rightful, in my view, because the government has broken the Constitution. That justifies it, but it doesn't change what it is. I guess the hope is that support for prohibition will wane before things come to a head.
You are confusing a unitary form of "federal" government versus our federal form of government and Union.

Yes, of course there are drawbacks to smoking pot. I can cloud your reasoning and makes one prone to flights of fancy. But I still don't think it should be illegal.

Apparently it also affects one's (or entire states') comprehension of how American Government works. :popcorn:
 
We also have the FDA. Might want to look into that and how it's a federal agency that answers to the collective-50-states...not just a few here and there.

We have a Commerce Clause not a drug war clause.

We also have a General Welfare clause, danielpalos , which you are more than happy to quote when it comes to government dictating wages and employment. It's a double edged sword dontyaknow.

as long as we promote the general welfare and not the general warfare.

Yeah, yeah - getting stale, dan. But did my comment sink in at all? Once you endorse government social engineering, you open the flood gates. If you want to remove the constitutional limits on government, you're going to get a lot of government you don't like, and can't do anything about because the Court gave in, or never did it's job in the first place.

We have a Constitution that limits the amount of socialism we are supposed to use.

Paying the debts and providing for the common defense and general welfare of the United States is what our socialism is for.

Uh.. yeah. Ok.
 
How many red states legalized marijuana?

Well, there is Montana, N. Dakota, and Arizona for starters. They have legalized medical marijuana.
In states where there is "legalized" medical marijuana, what public health oversight monitors absolute consistent potency and purity of the medicine? It's not the FDA. And what do you know, that's illegal. Private people are not allowed to manufacture, process or dispense medicine without a pharmaceutical license to do so, and approval of the drug by the FDA.

Oopsies! Rogue states once again did not seek permission of all the other states in the Union when it comes to federal laws. Go back to square one rogues states and study your American Government again. Seems you failed the first time.

Let's hear it for rogue states! The federal government is overstepping its bounds and the Court is not reigning them in.
 
^^ YET...

Few if any. Besides, MJ isn't legal unless all 50 states say so. It's a federal thing. Back to American Government 101. Rogue states don't get to dictate to the Union.
