I would assume Big Pharma has its checkbook out to further enrich the douchbags in DC. and this is why policy has shifted back on the Pot front.

Probably correct. In my neck of the woods pot is now on the reservations to be sold to the general public along with extreme fireworks and gambling. The adiministartion is going to take on the sovereign nations? No going to happen. Losing battle. Sad.

So when is somebody going to invent a dooby that don't have to be rolled like a white turd and is tight like a cigarette, maybe even with filters? :confused2:

We used a rapid roller and zig zag papers, looked just like a cigarette.

Some states still have dry counties. Nevada allows prostitution. The Constitution was established with states and individuals having control. If you don't like the laws in your state, it is easier to change on a state level, or you can move to a state that has laws in keeping with your preferences. The more we nationalize, the less freedom and control we have.

There was a war over states rights and the nationalists won.

Checkpoint charlie.... like the ones at the California borders with other states?

Or Florida, with their agricultural checks. Used to have to stop with horse trailers, too.

I can remember when they had those at the Texas/ Arkansas border before the Interstate Highway was built. They had a guy sitting in a very small (outhouse sized) booth in the middle of the road.

OVRSZD,
I was under the belief that a POT business was prohibited from using a federally regulated bank in pursuit of there business transactions because those funds could be seized by the IRS or DEA. Tantamount to money laundering. Proceeds from an endeavor labeled as illegal by the Federal Government, subject to confiscation. As you noted, physical assets such as property derived from illicit activity, the same consequence applies. Is this true for a pot based growing and retail sales business? Is it the same for medically grown POT?. In NY, several businesses have invested mega bucks in growing facilities, but the restriction is their product may only be utilized for medical purposes. It can not be sold in a form that can be ingested through smoking, only pill, capsule or liquid derivatives.

Fixing a problem that isn稚 a problem is a problem. Fighting a losing battle is a problem. Mark my words, the feds fighting pot is a losing battle. Bigger fish to fry.

Geeze guy...get a clue already...When federal laws prohibit the use, sale, possession etc. of contraband at the same time as individual states are over stepping their legal rights and allowing sale, possession, consumption etc. of the same contraband...THERE IS A PROBLEM...duh!

FYI..."Fixing" the problem has nothing to do with "fighting pot" or going to battle with states that wish to allow the use etc...they merely have to amend the current federal laws and regulations and cede power to the states...
Currently the biggest obstacles facing the several bills currently in congress are dealing with its status as both a medical treatment and or a recreational substance...

The feds are following the law. If you don't like what they are doing, change the law. Ignoring laws is never good

They went lax on enforcement. The laws are still on the books.
