Eeeep! That’s a raw deal. Do you know if the farming operation was legal under state law?

Your first comment was not limited to the cannabis consuming population, you said everyone. There have been replies in this thread that have demonstrated a misunderstanding of federal law and how it might be applied. I cannot state whether or not those were added by cannabis consumers but those who made the comments…
This is the #1 reason why I’m in favor of regulated legalization (must be 18 or 21/no driving under the influence type of regulation). In one fell swoop the government could cut drug cartel profits by millions, maybe even billions.
Ummmm, no, that’s not how it works and it’s not much more complicated. Illegally earned income is subject to income taxes. That is actually what AL Capone was convicted and sent to prison for, tax evasion. He didnt pay taxes on his illegal income.
True enough but anyone considering opening a dispensary needs to fully understand that they are on the hook for some very serious time if an unsympathetic or apathetic president takes office. The above article makes statements that Marijuana is completely legal in certain states under certain circumstances, those…
Correct, it is not the whole story. But it’s an important addendum to your story.
That’s pretty much my point. Regardless of state law, possession and consumption of Marijuana is only legal as a result of arresting and/or prosecutorial discretion. That can change at the whim of individual arresting officers or prosecuors. It is very important to remember that, if an officer in one of these states…
I counter that, the racism/classism present in the American judicial system is not specific to this law, rather it is systemic. In this, all federal and state law runs counter to Yick Wo v Hopkins, because the administration of all statutes does not afford equal protection.
It is important to remember that violation of federal law can be grounds for legal arrest by local law enforcement (depending on the codes of a given jurisdiction), even if said arrest does not lead to prosecution. You can potentially be arrested by State, County or Municipal police for violating federal law (again,…
No joke, they offered me a goddamn Tylenol PM to calm my nerves...
I guarantee you that this is not understood by a significant portion of the population. Either, they fail to understand the separation between State and Federal law or they are unaware of the supremacy clause.
It should be noted that federal law prohibits all possession cannabis and federal law trumps state law. Therefore, the possession of marijuana is still illegal in all 50 states.. Sorry.
Well, that is actually very, very interesting. Is it something you communicate to your patients?
I had laser eye surgery about 10 years ago. They did not give me a Valium but honestly I was OK without it (this is coming from a person who can’t even do contacts without freaking out). Honestly the procedure itself wasn’t that bad, the recovery suuuuuuuuucked. This was back in the day of bladed surgery so recovery…
Do improperly used ellipses drive anyone else to madness?
In other news, fuck Jay Cutler.
Me too! Me too!
Pff, looks like he’s received some...A lot actually.
