INITIATIVE 502: LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA

LEGALIZING MARIJUANA

Federal Law Vs. State Law

I have yet to hear in all the endorsements for Initiative 502, the 
basic problem of federal law vs. state law. Medical marijuana has 
been legal in our state for a while now and it's a big mess because 
of the discrepancies in law.

I believe that we should get the medical side squared away before we 
jump into legalizing recreational use. I seriously doubt that all 
this tax money is going to be realized for us, due to it being a 
controlled substance at the federal level.
