I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

I was under the impression that state law supersedes federal law ??? At least in some cases...

Federal law trumps state law where the Feds have the authority to make laws

I thought the Constitution was an agreement between the states, and if a state finds a law to be unconstitutional, they could nullify it...

Correct me where I'm wrong, because apparently that won't happen.

That's what South Carolina said. Then the president at the time (I think it was Jackson?) said "Hey, fuck you." and began military preparations to attack South Carolina if they did not comply. They complied. Hence, states only have jurisdiction where it has yet to be claimed by federal government.

I think states might be able to sue to establish Constitutionality, not sure about just ignoring it.

If federal agents arrest some one, it's illegal, if state or more local policefind some one doing it, it's not illegal. State officials swear to abide by State laws, not necessaraly federal laws.

Isn't this where there can be 2 different interpretations of the constitution? strict & loose? One where the power is in the states, the other in the gov't.

Twelve states have decriminalized small amounts of marijuana - that is, possession is punishable by a ticket and a fine - and 11 allow its use for medical purposes. Possession of up to an ounce at home is legal in Alaska under a court ruling there, but the case is under appeal.

Seems like the law is perfectly possible?


Also, I 100% agree with this guy:
Quote
"Make no mistake, I don't think using marijuana is a wise choice for anyone," said the Rev. William C. Webb, a Baptist minister who joined dozens of other religious leaders in announcing their backing. But "if there has to be a market in marijuana, I'd rather it be regulated with sensible safeguards than run by violent gangs and dangerous drug dealers."
It's a dumb choice, but people will do it anyways...
