The federal drug laws will have to change and legalize drugs. There is no doubt that having a nation of drug users will benefit the federal government.
Like the massive police state and prison-industrial complex built up around the fool "war" on (some) drugs hasn't?The federal drug laws will have to change and legalize drugs. There is no doubt that having a nation of drug users will benefit the federal government.

America already proved how dumb they are so here's an idea, let's legalize pot and dumb them down even more...I guess the libs are already preparing for 2016...
To the op, it's going to contradict federal law, and won't be recognized as as legitimate by federal authorities.
It's the same that happens in CA, though in the end the feds can only do so much, especially with more states jumping on the weed bandwagon.
Once enough states allow it the feds will be forced to reconsider it's prohibition.

You think the laws are keeping people from smoking pot, how cute.
How is this going to work with federal drug laws?
Will the DEA come to Boulder and start rounding up people with one plant in their home?
I think the Colorado law will allow state licensed dispensaries and people can have 6 plants in their home.

CA is only medical marijuana.
Colorado is going to have state licensed dispensary. Local law enforcement will not be helping the DEA.
This is a very Libertarian law.
It gives the individual the power to decide which substances to put in his body.
It trusts the individual, not a government bureaucrat.
It is a shot across the bow of the Reagan Drug War which empowered the Federal Government to go into every state and control their laws, and their people.
Predictably, with drugs, we see a small collection on the Right who wants to give power back to the nanny government, who will protect the individual from himself by limiting his freedom to make bad choices and do harmful things.
This is what the Right does. They empower government to limit individual freedom in the name of "helping them". The Right lives in fear. They believe that marijuana use is a slippery slope to hard drugs and a lifestyle of recklessness, crime and irresponsibility.
I trust the individual. What he does with his own body is his decision.
Unfortunately, once the Right regains the White House, they will do what Bush did. Send the nanny government into each state to enforce a top-down, centralized drug war - this will allow them to control the states and the individual.
Republicans never learn. They don't understand that they are the real party of big government. They want to use their big government hands to turn the wombs of woman into incubators for the seeds of Jesus, so that a bureaucrat (and not the individual woman) can determine the outcome of every pregnancy. I say let the individual decide how to live her own life - and God will judge them. Let the individual face the consequences in front of God. Of course, Republicans cannot handle this. They want to empower the nanny state to make all our decisions for us.
This is why they lost. Because they are contemptuous of individual freedom. They are in a FOX News Bubble where they have been convinced that they are defenders of freedom.
Tragic. But at the least the nation rejected their lunacy.

The report in the journal Clinical Practice and Cases in Emergency Medicine reported that doctors found THC - the mind-altering drug found in marijuana - in the baby’s system. Furthermore, the baby’s cause of death was reported to be a heart attack. Myocarditis, or inflammation of the heart, is rare in children, and fatal myocarditis is usually caused by the virus Coxsackievirus, which was not found during an autopsy.
The baby’s death also represents the first pediatric death from marijuana overdose. “Given the existing relationship between cannabis and cardiovascular (CV) toxicity, as well as the temporal progression of events, post-mortem analysis, and previously reported cases of cannabis-induced myocarditis, the authors propose a relationship between cannabis exposure in this patient and myocarditis, leading to cardiac arrest and ultimately death. This occurrence should justify consideration of urine drug screening for cannabis in pediatric patients presenting with myocarditis of unknown etiology in areas where cannabis is widely used,” the report stated.
Marijuana has been linked to other cases of heart inflammation, but those cases did not lead to death, the study’s authors found. “The link between cannabis use and myocarditis has been documented in multiple teenagers and young adults. In 2008 Leontiadis reported a 16-year-old with severe heart failure requiring a left ventricular assist device, associated with biopsy-diagnosed myocarditis. The authors attributed the heart failure to cannabis use of unknown chronicity. In 2014 Rodríguez-Castro reported a 29-year-old male who had two episodes of myopericarditis several months apart. Each episode occurred within two days of smoking cannabis. "In 2016, Tournebize reported a 15-year-old male diagnosed with myocarditis, clinically and by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, after initiating regular cannabis use eight months earlier. There were no other causes for myocarditis, including infectious, uncovered by these authors, and no adulterants were identified in these patients’ consumed marijuana,” the report stated.
The report also warned of the dangers of children ingesting marijuana “edibles.” “Unlike our patient, all three of these previously reported patients recovered. In the age of legalized marijuana, children are at increased risk of exposure, mainly through ingestion of food products, or ‘edibles.’ These products are attractive in appearance and have very high concentrations of THC, which can make small exposures exceptionally more toxic in small children,” the report stated. Doctors also recommended that parents be counseled to prevent marijuana exposure.

First Marijuana Overdose Death Reported in Colorado
November 16, 2017 | In Colorado, a state which has legalized recreational marijuana use, an 11-month-old baby’s death two years ago was determined to be the first ever documented marijuana death.
The report in the journal Clinical Practice and Cases in Emergency Medicine reported that doctors found THC - the mind-altering drug found in marijuana - in the baby’s system. Furthermore, the baby’s cause of death was reported to be a heart attack. Myocarditis, or inflammation of the heart, is rare in children, and fatal myocarditis is usually caused by the virus Coxsackievirus, which was not found during an autopsy.

Leave it to the pot head left to turn the argument about marijuana farms into the federal government invading your house over a marijuana plant. You almost gotta laugh that there wouldn't be an issue if pot heads grew a plant in their house and smoked their brains out. The problem is that good old capitalist pot heads ain't satisfied staying stoned, they want to make a buck (legally) by selling the crap to your kids.
