In the Constitution, they made an article that stated that any power that wasn't delegated to the federal government would stay with the states. What business is it of our federal government to tell us Californians that, although it is OK to kill ourselves with tobacco and alcohol, we can't use a mostly benign herb to help those with disabling disease or just to unwind at the end of the day without destroying our livers or beating our spouses. If there is any question over whether to make something legal or illegal, I vote for erring on the side of freedom to make our own decisions.
