Forgot about that joint? Vegas airport lets people dump pot

What happens in Vegas really can stay in Vegas. Tourists catching a flight out of Sin City can now dump their leftover legal marijuana in metal containers set up at the airport. The 10 green bins dubbed “amnesty boxes” prevent federal transportation agents from finding pot on passengers during security screenings. The drug is legal in Nevada but still banned by the U.S. government. The containers were installed last week following a county ban on marijuana possession and advertising at McCarran International Airport, aiming to keep it in compliance with federal law. They are bolted to the ground and designed so marijuana and prescription drugs can only be dropped in, not taken out.

Check with TSA!

Now there is a suggestion - such a wealth of knowledge available there.

I was in Lost Angeles last week and visited a pot "dispensary" a few blocks from where I grew up. Surreal.

Two observations: 1) farewell to the fun / risk and mystique about "scoring" pot. 2) it is really expensive. Prohibitively expensive.

And I find that at my age (ahem) I really don't care for it. Funny how things turn out.

In your opinion what do you think this little part mean?

SUPREMACY OF THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT

[2] This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

It means you still have some work to do.

Note the phrase “in Pursuance thereof”. A federal law that violates the 2nd or 10th Amendment is not a law made in persuance of the Constitution; whereas a federal law that controls immigration is in pursuance thereof.
