Rant: Governance

[ShadowHM]

It is not illegal for person A to buy a small amount of weed from person B for personal use.  But it is illegal for person B to sell it.

Despite the fact that it will be a Federal Law, and thus, at least, applicable in the same way to all citizens, the new law will still make the vendor of the 'small amount that only carries a fine for possession' a criminal.

Further, while it already is perfectly legal for some people with specific medical conditions (and a medical certificate) to own and use marijuana the person they buy it from is still committing a crime. Those with medical certificates can grow some for personal use, but heaven help the caregiver who helps them do it, no matter how sick they are. That too is also illegal.

Much has been promised about granting federal licences to grow medicinal marijuana, but no progress worthy of note has been accomplished.
