Word.
and then it can be taxed to hell like booze & tobacco!  (& probably still be cheaper because you won't be paying the costs of the illegal crap that has to happen)

I learned in my Canadian History class that the states had more power for their laws then the federal government, and that Canada like copied the states with the exception of our federal government being more powerful... *shrug*

This was a few years ago, I might be wrong.

Canada copied everybody.  We have a little bit of Capitalism, little bit of Democracy, little bit of Monarchy, throw in a touch of Republicanism, add a dash of Socialism, and BAM!  You have Canada!

Hence, states only have jurisdiction where it has yet to be claimed by federal government.
correct.  State law never supersedes Federal law under the Constitution.  Those of you that think otherwise might be getting confused with the Articles of Confederation where that was the case.  Nevada wouldn't be the first state to try to legalize marijuana, and if they succeed they won't be the first to have the federal government step in.

Nevermind state, when CANADA tried to legalize marijuana the US government stepped in! 

I really wish I kept the source for that, but I don't have it anymore.. :(

It's very ironic that they did that for marijuana because it would come into the states, when the same thing with guns is happening now.  :P

Dangerous people would be able to acquire guns anyway.  Potheads will get their pot anyway.  It doesn't really matter if an adjacent country has it leaglized. :P

To add a bit of clarification:
The clause of Article VI of the U.S. Constitution declares that all laws and treaties made by the federal government shall be the "supreme law of the land."
Meaning, if the state law & federal law ever contradict each other, federal law reigns supreme over state law.
This is also known as the Supremacy Clause.

I thought the Constitution was an agreement between the states, and if a state finds a law to be unconstitutional, they could nullify it...
That's basically what the civil war was about... :-\

An ounce of pot on the street costs upwards of $300, depending on the quality.
Ouch, someone's getting ripped off.

That's what I thought. I don't even smoke pot and I know that's wrong.

I associate with the wrong people.

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.
