Looks like we need a lot more "wars on [insert favorite bugbear here]," wouldn't you say?
Regards,
In the year 1915 how many federal laws were there?
I am going to look it up. I think the answer is something like 100.
If anyone knows, please post. (The fedgov is broke - why do they worry about such things.)

Regards, Those are your words not mine. Have a good day now.
in general, yes. you’d have to check each state’s constitutions for particulars, but yes. state are divided into counties or parishes, and the sheriff is the top leo of the county. anything law-wise going on in the county can only occur wth the permission of the sheriff.
i would guess a lot of sheriff’s however do not operate this way or know that this technically is what powers they have over the feds. lots of times they don’t b/c they let the feds do what they want under ‘professional courtesy’.
> My stepson has an aunt in California that is so addicted to pot she does it all day [...]
Studies have shown that the addictive potential of marijuana is less than that of caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco.
[...] This woman is in her late 60s for heavens sake. She was a flower child in the sixties. Go figure.
Go figure what? Are you saying that she is infringing upon anyone else’s rights or is a menace to society? That she belongs behind bars?
No. My point is that her addiction is so strong she can’t even control it around my stepson and I beg to differ about it being less addictive than the above ^. His aunt cannot function without it and I have known other addicts that are the same. this doesn’t mean they are criminals but I wouldn’t want to be in the same car when they are driving and wouldnt trust them to operate heavy equipment safely (I do know of a heavy crane operator that dropped a port’o’potty on a co-workers head at a construction site because he made errors in judgment on distance while operating a crane; killed the guy instantly; I know...what a way to go). In addition it makes people lethargic and apathetic; something I’ve seen with my own eyes a lot when I was younger. Again I’m not saying that people who smoke marijuana are criminals; it’s just something I choose not to do because of the above.
Sorry, I hadn't understood that you were merely relating personal anecdotes and stating personal preferences - and not trying to justify the "war on (some) drugs."

A lot of chemo patients would disagree with you, including my deceased brother-in-law. May he RIP.
Obama’s a typical lib hypocrite. He doesn’t want legalized choom gangs.
Turbo-charged, Islamo-Marxist, War-on-Drugs Nanny State PING!

Yes, I had Hodgkin’s Disease when I was in college in the 1980s. Looking back on the chemo regimen, I don’t think I would have minded a toke or two, rather than hanging my head over the toilet.
War on Drugs nazis can rot.
For those of us that support the tenth amendment, I think this is a good thing. It will align many more people against the federal government when they see what kind of power grab Washington is trying this time.
The County Sheriff in most western states trumps everybody. POTUS, governors, legislators, judges - everybody.
It's just been so long since most of them exercised the power, they don't know they have it. Arpaio knows. Bernalillo County, NM former Sheriff Darren White knew. A few others will wake up to the fact, hopefully before it is too late.
“He doesnt want legalized choom gangs.”

I had to look up the word “choom”. Maybe I’m getting too old for this. LOL
.
Not one one word that allows a county sheriff to demand his permission for federal leos to conduct investigations within county borders.
Sheriff Mattis may think so, you may think so but neither can point to any ruling that says otherwise.
Oh, not so at all! The feds have erected a legal house of cards overstepping their proper place relative to the states and the citizens of those states ever since FDR (spit). Can't have those uppity states start thinking they have some autonomy, now can we? That would open up a WHOLE can of worms.
Let's be frank, drug warriors got hosed by CO and WA. Big time.
Thanks for the ping!
Obama needs to respect state’s right but he wont because hes a marxist bastard
I agree with you there. The last two times I smoked it, 1978 and 1988, it made me sick and I threw up for hours. Haven’t touched it since.
I don’t live in either of those states, but inhaling second hand could have devastating results for me since I’m subject to random pee tests at work. What happens to the person who doesn’t smoke it but inhales it second-hand, then gets called in for a pee test, now that it’s legal?
It's not my job to do your homework for you, but you need look no further than the State in question's Constitution.
That's where it is in the majority of Western states.
Knock yourself out.
