[QUOTE="jibbs, post: 1546579"] I think my anxiety's turning into neuroticism. My apologies about that. I'm trying to work on it but it seems to just get worse... I just thought you were hitting me with a random disagree and I got angry, off the bat. I won't lie about it. Sorry, man. My tone was unnecessary and thanks for not responding in kind. It's regurgitated because it's in the Constitution. In a nutshell, this has most recently been interpreted as (the extremely basic) federal law trumps state and local law. In the 1970's, marijuana was classified as an (illegal) Schedule 1 drug by the [B]federal[/B] Controlled Substances Act of 1970. In the 2010's, marijuana has started to become decriminalized and even legal on state levels, giving state and local official quasi-legal grounds not to pursue minor marijuana offenses. The drug itself, however, remains scheduled and, as such, open to prosecution by federal authorities. The only thing preventing that prosecution are departmental mandates which can be and often are ignored-- likewise with the presidential orders that Obama signed off on declaring CA medicinal dispensaries off-limits, and almost immediately violating his own orders by using DEA agents to raid CA dispensaries all the while twiddling his thumbs and pretending nothing was happening. So yes, states have legalized the drug in small amounts. Federally, it remains scheduled. That's the gist. That's the law. The reality of the situation in isolated parts of the country may be different, but even state-legal marijuana is still federally illegal, and [B]that's[/B] the point that some people don't seem to understand even though I'm obviously in agreeance with the fact that, on the state level, marijuana is accepted in some areas of the country by local law enforcement.
