I wish we could do polls here, such as, do you favor marijuana legalization, yes or no. Then, have comments on that subject.

I get the feeling many here have the libertarian view of marijuana.

Maybe, but I would argue that it's the conservative view. Another poster referenced the 10th Amendment. We seem to have drifted away from it by quite a stretch. I don't smoke the stuff, and have no interest to, but it's time to walk away from this nonsense.

We live in a republic.

I’m not sure what business the US Government has in deciding what drugs I can or can’t take, but, if it is a Federal Law it should be the same everywhere.

California and New York voted for a different president than say Michigan. If the California State house now passes a law that says they don’t recognize President Trump it is meaning-less. The same with drug laws that go against the federal laws.

“I get the feeling many here have the libertarian view of marijuana.”

It’s that pesky concept called “freedom”. If tobacco and alcohol are legal, marijuana should be as well. It’s less problematic than either.

My view is pretty simple if the state says yes, then the 10th amendment says the feds stay out.
