Even though its ‘legal’ for recreational use in some states its still technically illegal because federal law overrules state law.
Yup, if they wanted to they could force the states to shut down their legal or medical industries. Which would put tons of people out of work(possibly pushing them into poverty), force them to use Alcohol or harder drugs to cope with life,
If the federal government wanted to charge you with possession for even a gram, they have every right to.
Yet they will do nothing about Cartels setting up & turf wars between gangs. Meanwhile, I'm the "threat to society" for minding my own fucking business in my room(all my roommates are fine with weed & smoke it occasionally) smoking my own weed, playing on my xbox, listening to music, fapping, or hanging out here. JFL at this country, if aliens are real and attack I hope just like in the movies they focus on the US.
I think more states will make it ‘legal’
Sadly, I think mine won't. Not at least for a long fucking time. Most people in my state would support it, even all the "Conservatives" since many of them smoke themselves. Only the (((Baptists))) -who are some of the most two-faced, judgmental, fake fuckers I have met- big Pharma & their cronies, and some dumbass boomertards are against it. Yet, our state is in Big Pharamas pockets.
but the federal government never will.
Partly why I want to leave my shitty state(among many other reasons) and maybe even this "country."
They could raid every marijuana store in the country tomorrow for all you know.
Considering how bullshit this country is, it wouldn't surprise me if this happened. They would harass & ruin local peoples small businesses & lives, while allowing for tons of actual narcotics(meth, heroin, cocaine, etc) to be smuggled into this country. One good part about this hypothetical scenario though, is it would piss so many people off to the point we would have mass riots.
Its amazing how backwards this country is.
