If Canada legalizes cannabis: then what?
From the Guardian:
Two studies, for which scientists struggled to find funding because of public suspicion and political sensitivity around psychedelic drugs, have shed light on how magic mushrooms affect the brain. The studies showed that psilocybin worked on the same areas of the brain as the SSRI antidepressants such as Prozac, as well as talking therapies and meditation as carried out by skilled practitioners. But the advantage over pills, the team believes, is that the positive effect could be long-lasting.Statehood for Mexico.

unhh . . . Obama/Holder's DEA, ATF, FBI, Homeland Security, and Park Rangers invade and shut down all Canadian dispensaries; and then lock up (indefinitely detain) anyone within 1000' of schools for the rest of their natural lives.
Pot smokers are terrorists, you know.
From the cheap seats - how's that (elephant open convention) looking now?
Jeb Busch, Jeb Busch, Jeb Busch . . . . .
Surf's up . . . sun should be out by afternoon.
A US District Court judge from Montana who is often thought of as legislating from the bench by conservatives has ruled that the feds can ignore state cannabis law.
Where is this coming from?
There is no mechanism in place to ensure that states are immune from lawsuits stemming from incidents that can be linked to state cannabis law.
dat should fall under the general-indemnity clause of da constitushon, don'cha think?
I can't conjure a law, or system of laws in place that indemnifies individual States from liability in the case of liquor sales, or anything else like that.
Wot's the deal Larry . . . you think something as simple as that would be at the root of all this drama . . . anyway?
It's much more. Number one would be the hysterical (fear and loathing) component of our culture (numerous societal groups) that are afraid of everything . . . next might be the prosecutorial branch of the legal profession - those with politically ambitious agendas (tough on crime); and certainly not least would be the entrenched law-enforcement bureaucracy and currently-privatizing prison industry complex.
And I don't get the Montana judge reference - you're saying that he doesn't recognize the Constitutional basis for State law in this matter?
okay . . . just read the story of Judge Malloy's decision in Montana.
That's (his) opinion, and it should be appealed in Montana - as it is being appealed in other States at present. I see a class-action suit forming. This is where it will settle.
I see it as a 10th ammendment based issue. Any (progressive) Constitutional scholars out there? What say you?
You've answered your own questions, Duff; and we've had this discussion: people sue tobacco companies, distillers, and brewers all the time for incidents where there isn't enough insurance to satisfy a tort claim.
Whether the Montana case is appealed while Steve Bullock is Attorney General is yet to be known.
That would be a great story, too.
Recall the tobacco company lawsuits, Duff.
Somebody needs to write credible law that will build revenue marked for the inevitable medical claims and will stand up to scrutiny by the feds.
It's that simple.
. . . but this "technicality" you continue to dredge-up is not the immediate legal obstacle Mister Kurtz.
Legal eagles aren't currently arguing about potential "liabilities" and how they should be mitigated - it's immediately about a States Right foundation in the Constitution. That's Judge Malloys take on it too - from a Federalist perspective.
It'll take some time, but it will arrive at some point on Judge Roberts' desk. Montana will likely be a party - bet South Dakota won't. Fear and loathing dominates in South Duck.
It's the Supremacy Clause, Duff.
