The good people of Arizona saw fit to pass medical cannabis laws but the feds threatened to prosecute any doctors who prescribed pot for their patients.

And the fine is not the issue. How is CA made better off by fining someone who has some pot on them $100. How is the guy with the pot made better off? The only ones made better by this scheme are the cops who get some free weed to smoke in their squad car and the courts who get a $100 check in the mail. A more succinct point would be this: If I only stole $100 from you, should you feel violated? The fine is not the issue. The fact that moral busybodies want to use the threat of force to impose their way of life on someone else is. Libertarians just want to be left to live their life as they see fit, not as you see fit.

It takes a Herculean effort to even be liable for the $100 fine, much less to actually get one. If the good people of California are unhappy with the way they self-govern themselves they are free to change the laws or move to Arizona. If anyone in society wants to be left alone he is free to purchase a deserted island somewhere.
