Typical 'majority rules' reply, straight out of the socialist playbook. Pot was never 'criminalized' by a vote, it was prohibited by a fiat 'law'. -- Just as assault weapons are criminalized in Calif.

If so, why haven't the people in an act of righteous indignation risen up at voted the offending laws out of existence? Todate in three out of four times the pot issue is brought to the people, they vote pot down in overwhelming numnbers.

Some conservative you are...

Look in the mirror............

No they don't. In at least one case, the Feds stepped in and said that while it may not be illegal on the state level, it would remain so on the federal level. This involved medical usage of marijuana. Doctors who prescribed it would face DEA violations.
