about time the states pulls their heads out of their asses and do the logical thing.

I'm confused though, does State law trump federal law? Is this a cruel joke that has yet to reveal the punchline of federal agents breaking down the doors of hippies?

Of course it doesn't, but you must read into the big picture more. It's more about personal petty "rights". I'm sure they wont care about you much or what you're doing. No fed agency is gonna want to waste the time and money unless there are some big seizures and $$$ involved. IE: California, ect, ect "Medical" use, taxes and growing permits. Smoke it in front of the Police officer, I'd advise against doing it near the ATF, DEA, FBI, ICE, ect. Watch your job with drug test's, would highly advise against it if you work for the government... lol. More sates will follow, the fed only has so much time to try and do what they can. I suppose it will go as prohibition did, just take much more time.

Indeed, won't lie the thought of transferring to Colorado U. crossed my mind haha. To those of you not caught up on the action, feel free to check out Amendment 64

The federal and state laws obviously do not align with this new amendment, but the 10th Amendment states "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." This essentially means the States have the right to pass laws that go against the Federal laws if not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution. Due to the ever-increasing number of states adopting pro-legalization of medical cannabis, and the negative image of the war on drugs (due to its failure and growing problems caused in the judicial system), the DEA and connected drug enforcement members are staying silent. They point out some good issues in the above article on why we might not see a good deal of opposition from the feds on this state legalization.

This is just one of many ripples to follow. We've been seeing more changes with legislation on hemp/cannabis, and provided we don't do something stupid to merit a danger from the plant, they have no reason to keep it from the general public. Colorado's inhabitants merely took the first step in opening this POV to the world.
