Wrong you are. The whole states rights issue has been tested many times since the 1830s. It went through a major test during the 1960s civil rights era. The proper role of the states to the federal government is that the states have to abide my the federal Constitution and Supreme Court decisions that are based upon the Constitution. The federal Constitution doesn't address medical marijuana, but the Supreme Court will by this time next year, and the states will have to abide by that decision. On that we can agree. But, if enough states eventually pass medical marijuana laws, there's no way the feds or Supremes can thrawt the will of the people. That's not why they are in power, to ensure that the people's will is not carried out. If a majority of the people want a policy change, and express as much by changing their state laws, the feds will have to abide. We don't need a Constitutional Ammendment ot legalize MM. That's just silly. It's not a fundemental issue like free speech or slavery. You obviously aren't serious about discussing MM, since you've already compared it to legalizing nuclear weapons. What a pathetic comparisson. Not even close. Kind of like comparing asprin to cynaide, don't you think. Give me a break. Keep the discussion a least a bit rational.
