Hi C T,

Thank you for the clarification. I seem to recall that from my Federal Civil Procedure courses.

So, what do you think? I’m dubious about the suit. I would think that alternative recourses may be available. BTW, I’ve got an aging client that offered (note I said offered) some Mary Jane ointment for pain relief. He brought it back from Colorado last summer.

I don't think much of the lawsuit. They are asking SCOTUS to issue an injunction prohibiting Colorado from implementing provisions of its Constitution and statutes. This court has been deferential to federalism, so I can't see it going that far. Plus, even if it did I don't think marijuana would be illegal in Colorado - just unregulated.

The basis of the suit is vague, stuff like tearing the fabric of a policy of national enforcement of marijuana laws. Sounds a lot like penumbras to me.
