That is a very reasonable opinion. The states should be able to implement this pot just like alcohol...fed should decriminalize it and tax it instead of pouring billions into arrest...court time and incarceration etc...persons that hate alcohol seem to be doing alright with all of us who drink...so why can’t we get along with pot smokers who choose to do this ?...I do not smoke pot ..I do drink and smoke cigarettes...because I AM FREE to do so and will do it as long as it makes me happy...Why ?..because I choose to without asking anyone’s permission.

You are in favor of a new federal tax?

Have you been smoking too much of this stuff?

There is no enumerated power in the Constitution that authorizes the federal government to decriminalize marijuana.
