Americans Want Federal Gov't Out of State Marijuana Laws

It's odd how this is the one issue we all seem to be able to get together on. I'm strongly disappointed with the Obama Administration dicking around with the states on this issue.

You're going to continue to be disappointed with the Obama Admin. It won't end here.

You took that one moment of beauty between us and just shot it in the head.

I dream of the day when it's cool to smoke a little weed in the privacy of my home...
Time to lighten up on this.

But the admin doesn't care.

This may be where all the morons who voted for this admin are going to realize that Obama is all about eliminating their rights as well as the rights of everyone who voted against him.

Won't it be fun when the feds come to your house and seize your plants and charge you..or maybe they'll just seize your property. Of course, they'll have to get in line behind the IRS agents who are pounding on your door.

You deserve what you're going to get.

Americans Want Federal Gov't Out of State Marijuana Laws

Federal Law trumps State law, been that way since the Constitution was approved by the States. You Don't like it? To damn bad. Your recourse is to get an amendment passed Congress and then 37 States or get Congress to pass a new law.

My personal opinion is that the Federal Government should shut down any State that violates Federal law. Since they don't want to obey the law cut off all funds for EVERYTHING. This includes the idiots that claim they are sanctuaries for illegal shit.

Drug Schedules:

Drugs, substances, and certain chemicals used to make drugs are classified into five (5) distinct categories or schedules depending upon the drug’s acceptable medical use and the drug’s abuse or dependency potential. The abuse rate is a determinate factor in the scheduling of the drug; for example, Schedule I drugs are considered the most dangerous class of drugs with a high potential for abuse and potentially severe psychological and/or physical dependence. As the drug schedule changes-- Schedule II, Schedule III, etc., so does the abuse potential-- Schedule V drugs represents the least potential for abuse. A Listing of drugs and their schedule are located at Controlled Substance Act (CSA) Scheduling or CSA Scheduling by Alphabetical Order. These lists describes the basic or parent chemical and do not necessarily describe the salts, isomers and salts of isomers, esters, ethers and derivatives which may also be classified as controlled substances. These lists are intended as general references and are not comprehensive listings of all controlled substances.

Please note that a substance need not be listed as a controlled substance to be treated as a Schedule I substance for criminal prosecution. A controlled substance analogue is a substance which is intended for human consumption and is structurally or pharmacologically substantially similar to or is represented as being similar to a Schedule I or Schedule II substance and is not an approved medication in the United States. (See 21 U.S.C. §802(32)(A) for the definition of a controlled substance analogue and 21 U.S.C. §813 for the schedule.)

MJ is a schedule I drug; it is my understanding that if removed from Schedule I and made a schedule II drug it could be regulated by any state which chose to do so.

See:

Schedule I drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. Schedule I drugs are the most dangerous drugs of all the drug schedules with potentially severe psychological or physical dependence. Some examples of Schedule I drugs are:

heroin, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), marijuana (cannabis), 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (ecstasy), methaqualone, and peyote

Schedule II drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with a high potential for abuse, less abuse potential than Schedule I drugs, with use potentially leading to severe psychological or physical dependence. These drugs are also considered dangerous. Some examples of Schedule II drugs are:

cocaine, methamphetamine, methadone, hydromorphone (Dilaudid), meperidine (Demerol), oxycodone (OxyContin), fentanyl, Dexedrine, Adderall, and Ritalin

Schedule III drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with a moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence. Schedule III drugs abuse potential is less than Schedule I and Schedule II drugs but more than Schedule IV. Some examples of Schedule III drugs are:

Combination products with less than 15 milligrams of hydrocodone per dosage unit (Vicodin), Products containing less than 90 milligrams of codeine per dosage unit (Tylenol with codeine), ketamine, anabolic steroids, testosterone

Schedule IV drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with a low potential for abuse and low risk of dependence. Some examples of Schedule IV drugs are:

Xanax, Soma, Darvon, Darvocet, Valium, Activan, Talwin, Ambien

Schedule V drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with lower potential for abuse than Schedule IV and consist of preparations containing limited quantities of certain narcotics. Schedule V drugs are generally used for antidiarrheal, antitussive, and analgesic purposes. Some examples of Schedule V drugs are:

cough preparations with less than 200 milligrams of codeine or per 100 milliliters (Robitussin AC), Lomotil, Motofen, Lyrica, Parepectolin
