If Marijuana will soon be legalized as a recreational drug in the state of California.?
Won't the federal law over ride that still allowing the F.B.I to search and seize?
Honestly I think it should be legal everywhere. It will cut back on people drinking alcohol which is one of the deadliest drugs in the world. I know a lot of people in alcohol related accidents, and incidents ever day. Never heard of somebody doing something really wrong when they were just high.
Right I understand that Della and both of you make a good point. I kind of suspected that as well I work with d.o.d I know how the feds work. I always hear people back home saying hey I think the f.b.i is watching you (to other people, not myself). There is no way the f.b.i is going to get involved in one person selling small amounts on the streets. We don't even bother with weed here so much. Moon Shine and meth are more of a concern.
I don't think it is addictive at all. I smoked maybe one every 6 months I always turn it down. I smoked since I was 13 pretty heavily but I was never addicted. I quit twice because of jobs and I was fine without it. Its just fun to do once in a while, not like in high school when pot was a replacement for air.

Yes.
Changing the state law will not keep the Federal Law from being enforced.

The answer to your main question is obvious, because medical Marijuana is legal in Calf. and Feds reserve right to search seize and arrest. Wink and nod law enforcement is least beneficial to society. Hope day does come when it is legalized with very though controls. When many that now smoke it in grade and high school see benefit of not smoking it, because if they got caught they would have to wait to 35 instead of 18 to get quality controlled and hopefully cheaper stuff legally.

State law will go into effect the following day. This means the day after it passes you will be able to purchase it legally with no interference from local authorities.

Citicop is absolutely right. Federal law always overrides state law. However, the F.B.I. is likely to get involved only if there are massive amounts of marijuana being sold without taxation or other illegal drugs involved.

Having once been addicted to marijuana for six years I disagree that legalizing it will be any sort of saviour to alcoholism. I go to Holland about 3 times a year and I see a lot of street alcoholics there just as you see them everywhere around the world.
Marijuana is an addictive drug.

Federal Laws do not apply within State borders on the commerce clause.
And the general welfare clause is a tax and spending clause, not a regulating clause, so basically the Supreme Court wouldn't know the Constitution if they were to be slapped in the face with it.
Source(s): Citicop is the governments favorite tyranny enforcer. There is no authority in the Constitution of the United States which allows Congress to outlaw plants. Period, end of story. If there is, then point to it. - Anonymous1 decade ago
Your not in California are you?
Its all but legal now. And pretty much the only law enforcement enforcing any of that are the Federal agencies.

Yea but only if it is illegally being sold. Just like anything else u need a permit to sell. And im sure there will be a limit on how much ppl can possess.
Source(s): hope this helps if not its cuz im high - Anonymous1 decade ago
Absolutely. They better never legalise this plant, or they'll put a lot of people ( and angry mexicans) out of work. Obama is pro-criminilization, surprising, but good when you think about it.
