The underlying message of this is forced legalization.

I’d be all in favor of drug legalization being handled only at the state level. But that’s not what’s happening.

“The underlying message of this is forced legalization.”

Wrong.

"The Strengthening the Tenth Amendment Through Entrusting States Act, or the STATES Act, would change federal law to say that the federal Controlled Substances Act doesn't apply to state regulated markets. It sets a 21-year age requirement for recreational sales, and removes industrial hemp, or low-THC cannabis, from the CSA, making it legal to grow nationwide. It would also ease banking hurdles to state legal pot businesses."
