US Attorney General: 'We May Prosecute Climate Change Deniers'.

TSgt Dan Sawn - "The rule of the code states that in order to possess, sale, or transfer marijuana, you have to pay to register and get authorized a "tax stamp"

That is separate from the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) (21 U.S.C. § 811) which in very simple words which are irrefutable (though unenforced) making the possession of Marijuana a violation of federal law as of 12 April 2016..
"Status of Marijuana at the Federal Level
• Controlled Substances Act of 1970:
• Marijuana regulated under Schedule I, defined as
having:
High potential for abuse
No currently accepted medical use
Lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision"

Conflict between State and Federal Law
As of this printing, the federal government claims that marijuana is not medicine and in Gonzales v. Raich (2005), the United States Supreme Court held that the federal government has the constitutional authority to prohibit marijuana for all purposes. Thus, federal law enforcement officials may prosecute medical marijuana patients, even if they grow their own medicine and even if they reside in a state where medical marijuana use is protected under state law. The Court indicated that Congress and the Food and Drug Administration should work to resolve this issue.

The Raich decision does not say that the laws of California (or any other medical marijuana state) are unconstitutional; nor does it invalidate them in any way. Also, it does not say that federal officials must prosecute patients. Decisions about prosecution are still left to the discretion of the federal government.

In 2014 and 2015, Congress called a ceasefire in the federal war on medical cannabis. In the first change in federal law affecting patients since 1970, when it classified cannabis as a dangerous drug with no medical use, Congress approved a budget amendment that prohibits Justice Department funds from being used to prevent states from implementing medical cannabis laws. These restrictions on federal enforcement are part of the 2016 funding bill for the Commerce-Justice-Science (CJS) budgets and expire at the end of the fiscal year, September 30, 2016.

Known as the Rohrabacher-Farr or CJS amendment, it first signed into law on December 16, 2014 and then again on December 18, 2015. The Rohrabacher-Farr amendment doesn’t just prevent direct interference with state implementation; it should also end federal medical cannabis raids, arrests, criminal prosecutions, and civil asset forfeiture lawsuits, as well as providing current medical cannabis prisoners with a way to petition for their release.

Ending the War: CARERS Act of 2015
The Compassionate Access, Research Expansion, and Respect States Act (CARERS) of 2015 is the most comprehensive piece of federal medical marijuana legislation ever introduced in the U.S. Congress. The bipartisan act which is sponsored in the Senate by Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and, in the House of Representatives, by Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) and Rep. Don Young (R-AK) combined a handful of medical cannabis bills that had been introduced over the last decade. This important bill would remedy the state-federal conflict over medical marijuana law, with far-reaching impacts, including:

Allowing state programs to continue without federal interference
Moving marijuana out of the Schedule I list
Removing CBD from the scheduling
Creating access to banking services for legal marijuana businesses
Ending the DEA-Imposed NIDA monopoly that blocks research
Allowing Veterans Affairs doctors to write recommendations in states that have a medical marijuana program.
Congress has until December 31, 2016 to pass the CARERS Act.

Takes too long and look at our cowardly Congress.

MCPO Roger Collins - Chief!! Your spot on, do what do in the lab, throw everything in the autoclave and start over.

He in the 3rd district in Indiana, we lost a great rep. Marlin Stutzman, he wouldn't play ball with the rep whip, so they blackballed and screwed him over.

This is an election that we can use to do so. Break the mold with Trump and throw him out after four. If we have withstood the assault on our Constitution and culture for eight years, surely we can try.

MCPO Roger Collins - Ot gonna be a fight for the soul of America. These kids are our future a lot of the are just dad gum clueless.
