Unfortunately, most people don't realize that even if every voter in a country voted to legalize marijuana, it still couldn't happen.
Sure, some people who smoke too much, and don't really know much, will tell you about grand conspiracies, and other stuff that would make a Scientologist blush, and how marijuana is being held down.
The truth is that marijuana is illegal because the countries of the world are members of the UN. The UN Convention on Psychotropic Substances makes marijuana illegal. Decriminalization is possible, but legal growing, distribution, and free use can never happen while your country is part of the UN and signed to that treaty. NEVER.
...I don't know what you've been huffing...
The US is signatory to the UN Convention also. You babble (rather incoherently) about state rights. Unfortunately, Article Six of the US Constitution clearly says:
"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."
You can clearly read that, maybe you'll need someone to explain it to you. It basically says that as long as the US is in the UN, and signatory to the UN Conventions, it will always be REQUIRED of the federal government to enforce federal law in the states.
So, when that cop, teacher, or politician told you "if you don't like the law, you can change it," he was clearly BSing you. You believed it. You still believe it. Well, time to wake up. IT AIN'T SO!!!
It CAN be decriminalized, though. Like in Iran. Or if you could somehow demonstrate a true religious use. For example, you have to go through several years and learning before you can ever take communion. If your weed church lets you automatically smoke, it's probably not going to fly, but that's a different subject.
So, maybe some of you have to put down the pipe for a few minutes, as this revelation of truth may be depressing or disheartening.
The fact is, that since the DEA is authorized to operate by every country in north america on their soil, there won't be any "weed freedom" anytime soon. No matter how your town, city, or state votes.
Stop dreaming of your little petitions and community and state actions. They don't mean a thing until the laws are changed at the federal level.
