[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

But one state cannot defeat the drug law enforcement efforts of the rest of the country. Work to overturn the federal law. In the meantime, I think freedom will survive even without stoned California citizens. No one's speech, press or voting rights have been taken away. PERSUADE! That's how you win.

ROFL!
How is a sick person growing for her own medical use defeating drug law enforcement in the rest of the country?

PERSUADE! That's how you win

Like our founders PERSUADED the king to grant us freedom?

Those efforts are succeeding brilliantly. In any case, your statement turns the Constitution upside down. The rest of the country should not be able to influence the affairs of one state in this way. Nor was Congress intended to have a general police power of this kind. See Madison, quoted above.

I have a better idea. If you don't like the Constitution, why don't you work to amend it rather than pretending that it's a living document and requiring the rest of us to work to overturn the unconstitutional laws which should've never been enacted in the first place?
