Pot isn’t mentioned in the Constitution at all. So, technically, the government has no right to outlaw it. Just the states, under the 10th.
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
OK by me, you line up with Obama on this one; his endorsement will likely move state initiatives along rapidly, just as it did for gay marriage. Then you get to the Dred Scott effect where one state cannot exclude what is legal in another, and the Holder DOJ will stand back and let it go.
Wha?
