As most Republicans seem to recognize, attempts to force marijuana prohibition on states that have opted out of it are inconsistent with the decentralized system of government established by the Constitution.]]> 2018-02-06 18:45:54 UTC https://padlet.com/angelafleurant/federalismp5/wish/228786084 What are the main points for this to remain a state issue? a federal issue? angelafleurant https://padlet.com/angelafleurant/federalismp5/wish/229401375 State issue: State Medical Marijuana Laws       
    States with medical marijuana laws generally have some form of patient registry, which may provide some protection against arrest for possession up to a certain amount of marijuana for personal medicinal use.
    Federal issue:  State Medical Marijuana Laws       
    At the federal level, marijuana remains classified as a Schedule I substance under the Controlled Substances Act, where Schedule I substances are considered to have a high potential for dependency and no accepted medical use, making distribution of marijuana a federal offense. In October of 2009, the Obama Administration sent a memo to federal prosecutors encouraging them not to prosecute people who distribute marijuana for medical purposes in accordance with state law.

Defend your argument with facts from your research. angelafleurant https://padlet.com/angelafleurant/federalismp5/wish/229403306 The side of the argument that I agree with the most is that the state should regulate marijuana. The state has decriminalized marijuana to some extent so I think that as long as its used for the public health its not the best idea but one that is ok. The state has sovereign powers but none equal to the federal government so as long as they are not interfering with the fed its constitutional for recreational marijuana. ]]> 2018-02-08 02:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/angelafleurant/federalismp5/wish/229403306
