If they decide to break federal law...will they be put in jail? I guess that we know the answer to that one.
Is there a list somewhere of what Federal laws Obama does actually enforce, and which ones are ignored? Or what the criteria is for ignoring them? Do you have to be one of his special classes of people?
Do we have a list of the same for every other President or are you just interested in the one your emotions tell you to whine about.
As to the question to which you didn't answer there, what happens to the medical system really varies based on state. Here in Washington, both types of stores were allowed, but the medical system is being rolled in to the recreational system. It will just not be taxed.
It's quite a good industry here. Jobs, taxes, less money wasted on enforcement against drugs that don't matter and no the sky isn't falling here.

While I agree that is the job of those whom we elect to uphold the laws, and ESPECIALLY adhere to the Constitution....which BTW, where is the ammendment (like with alcohol) for prohibition of cannabis in the Constitution? I'm not finding that specific amendment anywhere. Having said that, there are many laws that we could could do away with and repeal. Not to mention just because something is a law, it doesn't make it just or moral. Finally, it our duty as American citizens to protest, and even disobey bad laws to promote change. No I'm not talking riots, or what you saw in Baltimore or Ferguson either.
I hope that Arizona is yet another state that sticks it to the feds and their ridiculous scheduling of a schedule 1 narcotic!
First hand? Sure you did. Ever heard of false causation? That's what you're doing. It's the whole square is a rectangle but a rectangle isn't necessarily a square logic that you're missing.
Now that I've proven that there's a medical use for it, contrary to what you're claiming based on no research or data, maybe it's time to hit that logout button and leave opinions to those people who are actually informed.
Lol why don't you try taking your own advice, I live with it and see the effects daily so try again.
So you feel the same way about Opium and Coca? Let's make them legal also since they are from a plant.
There should be no such thing as an illegal substance relative to personal use by adults. Jailing people because they wanna snort coke is so stupid that it defies logic.

I'm inclined to agree. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't advocate it, as that stuff is some bad s***! Now OTOH, if you knock over a convenient store because you need money to get your fix, then you go to prison! Or worse... be shot if the store owner himself is packing heat.

If you decriminalized that stuff, folks wouldn't need to knock off a store. The illegality is what jacks up the price to astronomical numbers and only enriches some really bad dealers who must kill just to keep everyone in line. People decry the violence around the dope game, but in that business, there's no other choice BUT to operate by the perceived threat of extreme violence. And you have to employ it in a New York minute at even the slightest of infractions. That's the game.
If you wanna disempower such people, you've gotta get the money out of the drug game. The profits are too strong of a lure for criminals to dismiss...even with our sentencing guidelines.
I'm not opposed to it being made legal, however, the arguments to do so are not well thought out in my opinion.
I agree. There is really only one argument. Nothing else matters. Government has no right to tell me what I can eat, drink or smoke.
