just for the record… it’s not legal anywhere in the US. many states have decriminalized it- whihc means they’re not actively enforcing the US law, but it’s still very much illegal. In the past it wasn’t such a big deal, because federal law enforcement didn’t care about people smoking a joint. with trump in power, though, you gotta be careful with that.
While you are right on the federal level, you are wrong on the state level. Colorado did legalize it, from their own website:
See: Colorado.gov
Wikipedia
There’s the selectively enforcement of the Supremacy Clause (which takes on a much more grim connotation, now).
It’s still illegal in Colorado.
Because Colorado is a us state, subject to the laws of the US and weed is illegal federally.
You see how that works, right?
Even if your assessment here were accurate, that still doesn’t make weed “decriminalized” in states. Here in Oregon, we voted to decriminalize most drugs in 2020 but they were still illegal to sell and you could still get a ticket for having them. There was just no jail time attached to the penalty.
Contrast that with weed which is legal meaning there are no tickets or penalties for possessing or selling it (provided you do so within state regulations) and it should be easy for you to see how that works, right?
And yet anyone over 21 in Colorado can walk down the street, into a store, and buy weed.
So it sounds de facto legal to me.
I am only a few clicks away from downloading the newest movie in theaters to my computer and watching it on my tv. Just because ease of access makes it available, it doesn’t make it technically legal though.
Look up what “de facto” means. It’s absolutely de facto legal to consume cannabis in legal states.
Until the feds start busting individual users smoking a joint in their home, that will continue to be the case.
“Untill”
You know its not really legal when its a state law vs federal law. People need to push for it being legalized. All pussy footing around its just plain stupid when both sides agree, pot good.
It does if those sites you’re downloading those movies from are licensed, regulated, and approved by your state, which is the case with weed in places where it’s legal. This entire argument is nonsense.
Evidently he’s fine with it as long as you cut him a cheque.
Most of us can’t afford that check.
If you smuggle millions worth of drugs you will be able to afford it.
not if you get caught before you can sell the first haul.
