At least 12 more states have effectively decriminalized possession of marijuana in small amounts.

-even if marijuana use, cultivation, or distribution is legal in your state, you can still face serious federal charges
-charging civil fines instead of imposing jail time
-have legalized marijuana for medicinal purposes
Federal: 
-can claim certain tax deductions from the business.

Defend your argument with facts from your research. yeseniabarquera https://padlet.com/yeseniabarquera/federalismp3/wish/228634496 I agree with it being the state issue because the state could decide and regulate the recreation of marijuana. They can enforce laws and the punishments wouldn't be so hard as the federal. Recreational marijuana can bring in a growing business and help out with issues that the state needs to pay, etc. ]]> 2018-02-06 15:02:50 UTC https://padlet.com/yeseniabarquera/federalismp3/wish/228634496 LINKS yeseniabarquera https://padlet.com/yeseniabarquera/federalismp3/wish/228642536 2018-02-06 15:14:08 UTC https://padlet.com/yeseniabarquera/federalismp3/wish/228642536 yeseniabarquera https://padlet.com/yeseniabarquera/federalismp3/wish/229571825 2018-02-08 14:17:21 UTC https://padlet.com/yeseniabarquera/federalismp3/wish/229571825
