just for the record… it’s not legal anywhere in the US. many states have decriminalized it- whihc means they’re not actively enforcing the US law, but it’s still very much illegal. In the past it wasn’t such a big deal, because federal law enforcement didn’t care about people smoking a joint. with trump in power, though, you gotta be careful with that.
Evidently he’s fine with it as long as you cut him a cheque.
Most of us can’t afford that check.
If you smuggle millions worth of drugs you will be able to afford it.
not if you get caught before you can sell the first haul.
While you are right on the federal level, you are wrong on the state level. Colorado did legalize it, from their own website:
See: Colorado.gov
Wikipedia
There’s the selectively enforcement of the Supremacy Clause (which takes on a much more grim connotation, now).
It’s still illegal in Colorado.
Because Colorado is a us state, subject to the laws of the US and weed is illegal federally.
You see how that works, right?
And yet anyone over 21 in Colorado can walk down the street, into a store, and buy weed.
So it sounds de facto legal to me.
I am only a few clicks away from downloading the newest movie in theaters to my computer and watching it on my tv. Just because ease of access makes it available, it doesn’t make it technically legal though.
Look up what “de facto” means. It’s absolutely de facto legal to consume cannabis in legal states.
Until the feds start busting individual users smoking a joint in their home, that will continue to be the case.
It does if those sites you’re downloading those movies from are licensed, regulated, and approved by your state, which is the case with weed in places where it’s legal. This entire argument is nonsense.
