Despite growing public support for legalizing marijuana, a lawsuit filed by Nebraska and Oklahoma shows that at least two segments of American society are prepared to fight the idea before the nations highest courtsocial conservatives and law enforcement.
The lawsuit seeks to overturn Colorados experiment in legalized recreational pot, alleging that the two conservative states are being overrun with Colorado marijuana that is making it harder for them to enforce their own drug laws.

IOW, this is technically “nullification” of federal law on CO’s part?

The vast majority of potheads are lib dem.
The lib dem party mascot is the donkey.
Therefore, pot is the opiate of the asses.

The Tenth Amendment has to be one that the Obama Administration particularly hates. Add FR's prohibitionists to the list of 10A haters. Seriously, you cannot get them to address the issue. They love the Drug War more than the Constitution.

Hey. Here's an idea. Follow Tennessee's lead. Set up a whole special agency that is supported solely off roadside confiscations of cash on the assumption that if you're coming back from Colorado, you were there for nefarious reasons. You mean like the innocent family who was put through a felony traffic stop and the cops killed their dog? Here's a FR thread from the time with over 700 replies =>

what do those states want the feds to do about it? Isn't pot already illegal federally? Do they want it to be doubly illegal? Now Colorado will be on double-secret probation.
