I’m not a big fan of the income tax, so I get the small county I live in to outlaw the federal income tax. That’s what you guys are trying to do with reefer laws and medical marijuana. Admit it! You are trying to go around the law.

If you would read and think about the Constitution, you'd realize how silly that is. The 16th Amendment has delegated such authority to fedgov. It would take another amendment to repeal it. I don't like a national income tax either, but it does pass constitutional muster.

That's what you guys are trying to do with reefer laws and medical marijuana.

That argument only works if you believe that fedgov is delegated such authority over intrastate commerce by the Commerce Clause. Do you believe that such authority is in keeping with original understanding... yes or no?
