To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks
Now, the state faces groundbreaking lawsuits from its own residents, who are asking a federal judge to order the new recreational industry to close.

What a terrible thing to do: further cement the idea that federal government is superior to the States in all matters … if you ascribe to that then there is no 9th and 10th Amendment and, moreover, you implicitly agree with the interpretation of the Constitution that allows the NSA's domestic espionage, the BATFE's regulation of firearms, and the imposition of same-sex marriage upon the States.

It's one way or the other: you cannot have the Federal government be superior only when it conveniently lines up with your personal philosophies.

Like I mentioned above, the right is real good about screaming about big government, unless, of course, it's THEIR big government.

Nobody cares about freedom when people are doing things they don’t like.
