1) what does this say about Federal Ban of MJ, in either Medical or Recreational use allowed by states. I ask because we seem to be doing a lot of bitching around here about AttyGen Holder trying to trash Cali pot shops in favor of Federal Power...
2) "enforcement", combined with Executive Order Power, suggests that Obama (or any other President) can, under the guise that EO can only limit the scope of a Law, rather than expand it, simply say "well, I have to enforce this thing I beleive to be Unconstitutional at worst, and a waste of time and energy at best, so I'm limiting the Federal Sentence for weed to practically nothing." In that case, what is the real, effective difference between "enforcing" the law, and not doing so at all...a paper trail?
Again, I'm asking because I'm not a lawyer, and for the purposes of this discussion, that means im stupid lol.
What do you think?
