(10-15) 11:32 PDT Los Angeles, CA (AP) --
Los Angeles County's top lawmakers say they'll continue to enforce current marijuana laws, even if a state ballot measure to legalize the drug passes next month.
At a news conference Friday, County Sheriff Lee Baca and District Attorney Steve Cooley said the law would be unenforceable because it is trumped by federal laws that prohibit marijuana cultivation and possession.
If passed, Proposition 19 would allow Californians to legally possess up to one ounce of the drug and grow small gardens on private property.
Baca says his deputies don't and won't go after users in their homes, but public use of the drug will be targeted.
Cooley, who is running for California Attorney General, says he believes Proposition 19 is unconstitutional and would be unenforceable.
Well ? He didn't get my vote. He says even if it passes. Deny the rights of the people and lets see what happens. That little fuckin jerk.....
