With the pot vaping and the drugged driving, I think the dea is going to set up the dispensaries once the industry grows a bit more and the government media puts out stories against pot. You know, most banks won’t take the dispensaries’ cash. It’s still a schedule 1 drug federally.
I’m just making an observation. IMO, each state should decide on drugs, not feds. Like healthcare, the States should have sovereignty here. But with respect to firearms, if it’s in the BOR, the states have to respect individual rights, so for example a state can’t pass a law against freedom of speech as well.
That's what the U.S. Constitution demands.
From your link:
“marijuana can be detected in the blood for one week after consumption, perhaps leading chronic consumers to be wrongly arrested, critics of the law assert.
“A separate study — also based on FARS data — found that in states where medical marijuana was approved, traffic fatalities decrease by as much as 11 percent during the first year after legalization. Written by researchers at the University of Colorado, Oregon and Montana State University, the paper was published in 2013 in the Journal of Law & Economics.
“Those authors theorized pot, for some, becomes a substitute for alcohol. They cited a recent, 13-percent drop in drunk-driving deaths in states where medical marijuana is legal.”
