Spicer: States will likely see 'greater enforcement' of federal law against rec mj

[Timshel]

I support full legalization but medical is an important first step and might even prove the death blow to prohibition.

As it is now, there is nothing in the constitution that really supports protecting a right to mj use save a very liberal reading of the 9th. I don't think the courts will ever accept that argument on the 9th or the better supported argument that congress is not empowered to prohibit its use. But, if marijuana is established as medicine then I think we have a stronger case for a fundamental right to privacy in its use via Griswold, Roe et al.

"very liberal reading of the 9th." #201

"very liberal"? piffle

If it was legal on December 15, 1791, the day our Constitution's 9th Amendment was ratified, then it should be legal today. What's ""very liberal" about that?

Yeah, he can reschedule without congress. The link I provided in #188 explains how. Here is another.

They are interchangeable in some cases. Of course, marijuana is not going to be very effective for severe pain, but many are taking opioids for less severe pain which marijuana might effectively treat. It's also likely that those using it for purely recreational purposes will substitute mj for opioids.

I'venever seen that flow chart before.Everything I've read shows Congress has to do it -but wouldn't is DEA opposition sink it?

mj is useful for "homeostasis: as I mentioned before -regulating the endocrine system against auto-immune disease and maybe some nerve inflammation pain.both are useful tools by mj does absolutely nothing for my osteoarthritis

Have you tried indica?
Edibles?
Bee sting therapy?

He's sworn off of stimulants of any kind, but he should look into CBD edibles, or pot that has virtually no THC and high CBD.

Yes...Indica is high in both, which is why it's my choice.


Of course, Fla is in the dark ages still w/respect to pot

i can't get edibles in Florida,
I really don't smoke anymore- i have tried to used it a a 'finigan'
( slang -boost potency/synergistic reaction) it makes me feel kina weirdly high

I am not going to subject myself to hive behaviors..

Hydrocodone would be more helpful then the codeine I'm on -codeine knocks me out -so I can't use it and exercise.
Instead I exercise and then use it at night to reduce swelling/pain

"No right is absolute. Conversely, no government authority is absolute." lawyer, law Professor and former ACLU head Nadine Strossen

Our limited legal right to go to contract is by absolute necessity a limited legal right. Were it otherwise laws against rape, murder, kidnapping, and even treason would be pointless.
ANY of those crimes could be perpetrated, UNDER CONTRACT, and thus would not be crimes at all.

You already knew that. Right?

not only is your bolded comment a huge strawman, it's also a sign of the average stupidity and brainwashing that people get from their government these days. there is a reason that there are so many negatives in the bill of rights where it concerns the federal government and that is because the feds absolutely forbid the feds from encroaching upon those specific rights. If the founders heard 'no right is absolute', they'd exile you back to england.

Bottom line of this whiney thread; elections have consequences and enforcing our laws is a priority with the new President.

unless it's prosecuting a former sec state?
