Yep. That’s the answer to the decision by Nebraska and Oklahoma to ask the Supreme Court to overturn Colorado’s laws legalizing marijuana. Also, “ridiculous,” and “moronic.”
Nebraska and Oklahoma sue Colorado over marijuana legalization
Nebraska and Oklahoma filed the lawsuit directly with the nation’s highest court on Thursday. The two states argue that, “the State of Colorado has created a dangerous gap in the federal drug control system.”
“Marijuana flows from this gap into neighboring states, undermining Plaintiff States’ own marijuana bans, draining their treasuries, and placing stress on their criminal justice systems,” the lawsuit states.
Assuming that’s the case, and that those states feel the need to actually do that additional enforcement (which is their choice), it seems that it’s a matter of appealing to the federal government to help defend their border, not a question of overturning state laws.
“Federal law undisputedly prohibits the production and sale of marijuana,” Bruning added in a statement. “Colorado has undermined the United States Constitution, and I hope the U.S. Supreme Court will uphold our constitutional principles.”
Wow. It’s truly remarkable how people like to twist around rights. Apparently Nebraska feels that it has the Constitutional right to determine Colorado’s laws. That’s just facially absurd.
Speaking of facially absurd…
Groups opposed to legalization cheered the lawsuit. Kevin Sabet, a co-founder of the national group Smart Approaches to Marijuana, said legalization of marijuana “is not implemented in a vacuum.”
“Colorado’s decisions regarding marijuana are not without consequences to neighboring states, and indeed all Americans,” Sabet wrote in a statement.
Well, then, I guess all states should be required to charge the exact same tax on cigarettes. And what about alcohol? There are still dry counties – isn’t legalization of alcohol making it more difficult for them? All state gun laws should be the same.
As much as some people would like to have a federal government run everything, that’s not the way our country is structured. And I don’t think the Supreme Court is going to tell a state that they have to get their laws approved by neighboring states.
This isn’t serious, is it? They can’t actually believe that this will be met with anything but laughter, right?
Do different speed limits from State to State make it more difficult and costly to enforce the speed laws?
.
.
You’d better believe this is a very serious matter. Attorneys have an ethical duty to refrain from filing lawsuits without any merit no matter how much the 9 stuffed shirts on the Supreme Court could use a good laugh.
As far as we’re concerned these people are blistering idiots who obviously haven’t looked at the rulings in prohibitionist generated lawsuits that the Roberts Court has refused to grant certiorari.. Those would be every single one so far. Unless their only intent is to be able to say to their constituents “well we tried. But them lib-uh-rulls up in Washington just wouldn’t listen” then once again, with enemies like them, we don’t need any friends. I hope that they’re ready to be snubbed without comment.
I don’t believe their constituents have anything to do with this – it’s their profits from drug stings/forfeitures that are in danger of disappearing.
.
.
Profits from forfeiture only exist in the imagination of those people who haven’t actually looked at the numbers. They’re a long, long, long way from covering their cost.
I thought the purpose of cannabis prohibition was to keep cannabis out and yet here we have some prohibitionists telling us that prohibition doesn’t actually keep cannabis out of their state.
…the good news is that bullshit like this is going to eventually force a federal response.
My .02: those states can go fly a kite. What’s next on the moral high horse agenda?
Don’t be so quick to judge this lawsuit. It looks like these two states have the guts to do what the feds won’t. Or maybe it’s what the feds aren’t stupid enough to try. Unfortunately for them, I don’t think the lawyers in NE or OK really understand the implications of their suit. Surely they must understand that the feds can’t force a state to criminalize mj or anything else for that matter. The most they can hope to accomplish with this suit, if they win, is to strike down the portions of the mj laws authorizing state regulation. In other words, they’d better be careful what they wish for. Do the folks in NE and OK really want legal, totally unregulated weed right next door? Would that be better than what they have now?
On the other hand, if they do win and mj becomes legal but unregulated, that would certainly put the feds in a awkward position. If they can’t stop states from legalizing, but those states are not allowed to regulate, the feds’ only real solution would be to adopt regulations at the federal level. I have a feeling the feds are not at all happy about this lawsuit.
Being as the CO law is an amendment to the CO Constitution,k I do not see how any lawsuit like this could possibly alter or remove it in any legal way.
.

It’s always a sad thing when an entire class of creatures goes extinct. While it’s very sad for the prohibitionists, it’s the way of the world. Their closest evolutionary relatives are just a few steps ahead on the road to their final destination in the museum of extinct species:

Why science hasn’t yet proved to the US government
that marijuana isn’t as dangerous as heroin
http://qz.com/310862 via @qz
Many scientists say there is little basis to put marijuana in that category, and the DEA’s stance that marijuana has no medicinal use has been widely rebuked in recent years. But marijuana’s dangers and uses have not been definitively established within the scientific community, and that’s partly because of the very limited research done on the subject. Paradoxically, the drug’s schedule 1 status has hamstrung exactly the marijuana research necessary to change its classification.

Looks like I’m not the only one suspicious of the feds’ motives. No one has more experience with being screwed over by the feds than Native Americans.
Why Did the Feds Just Legalize Cannabis on Native American Lands?
about as solid an endorsement as the earlier memos which they so followed (can anyone say “Kettle Falls 5?)
Who knows, maybe the feds want an excuse to seize tribal lands…
It becomes more evident every day that lawmakers should be forced to smoke some marijuana before making any decisions.
I oppose any force or coercion on ANYONE, I live by the NAP (non-aggression principle).
Consuming cannabinoids might do politicians some good by allowing them to live longer. For this reason, I oppose certain lawmakers smoking weed.
I suggest people check another nut job prohibitionist Facebook page called mmyv, hardcore Prohibitionists that want to shove opinions people down

I know it’s very frustrating the MMYV members had the guts to show up on a diabetic support group on Facebook and started mocking them for needing cannabis, boy were they shown the door quick and they started calling the diabetics cannabis heads and started making fun of them, I’d say it’s time to expose MMYV and their leadership Pete Miller, I have heard some of the MMYV leadership are connected with Drug Free America and PFizer
.

Oh come on, that’s obviously parody.
A quick peek at the group photo should dispel any doubts…nice graphics, nice idea…sad thing is, there are some of our fellow Murcans who would take this cleverness as God’s Own Word…
now that site is a sight to be cited! Great parody… scared the dogs when I laughed out loud
This is comic satire, right? This fb page cannot possibly be serious, are we in Kansas still Toto, or has the wizard set the flying monkeys free???
No I have seen that page group up with Drug Free America and they have attacked a diabetic support group on FaceBook that uses cannabis for their condition that the diabetics should die and etc
.
.
Well if I was making fun of prohibitionists and they thought I was sincere I most certainly would give them an undetermined length of rope and hope them competent enough to hang themselves.
Of course every time I think, “well that’s it, they’ve reached flat line stupid, No one could be more stupid AND also be alive” the prohibitionists go out and prove me wrong without even breaking a sweat.

Beautifully decoded, Clay.
Another tack:
Oklahoma is suing CO for legalizing marijuana and the DOJ just allowed Native Americans to grow and sell marijuana.
ironically nobody can count how many tribal lands there are in OKLA>
Yep, that could be awesome for North Texas…
And the rest of the State too, I just don’t believe we’re at all likely to let this possible business and tax-revenue (if only our %08.25 sales tax) = go to all these other places = south of the US Border, to Reservations in OK & NM or anywhere else.
That along with the proliferation of all sorts of “synthetic marijuana” which appears to have edged-out “herbal extacy” that been popular here forever!
If the feds really do the thing with letting States operate their own MMJ programs & the NA Reservations do their thing too = That may just be the straw that breaks the back of (aka rids the United States of the pesky Single Convention Treaty with the UN…
Which members of the UN would tell us what to about this *this is currently the last excuse for the bureaucrats to hide behind AND, It absolutely must be the next section of the wall to hammer upon* and even the teabaggers would swing/drop their indignation jackhammers upon…
I think Nebraska and Oklahoma are hoping to win the lawsuit to procure a cash settlement allowing them to build giant fortified concrete domes over their respective states so nothing they like can get in (including sunlight). The rest of us should file a countersuit forcing all raging prohibitionists to be relocated to either of those states before the domes are sealed shut for good. The Sabets, Semblers, Fays, Chabots, Barthwells, Walters, et al. will live in their own sarcophagi, blissfully free from the moral depravity they long to avoid. For good measure, we’ll deem Stupid Patrick “King of the Shut-ins”. Fun will be had by all.
Wait, I can save them some money. Chernobyl is getting a new sarcophagus, right? We can just relocate all the Nebraskans and Okies who don’t like the marijuana pots inside Chernobyl’s concrete shell. Al least it will be nice and warm in there.
I was thinking about looking into having them buy into the (near-ish future) “Newt Gingrich Moon Base & TeeTotaler Resort” where smuggling things up will be next to impossible (*Apart from whatever they can pack their asses, to take with them on the flight up… which will only last a short while. *)
Although drug distribution will be a capital crime in “Newt’s World” = just as he suggested for the US back (iirc) in the mid 90’s!
But, there might be a whole new spin on the “X-Prize” created by the next gen and/or existing terminally bored teenagers who didn’t realize what their parents were signing them up for.

Ever notice something about this kind of nonsense? It’s never the general public that is up in arms, with great hue and cry, who bugs the legislators for this kind of thing. This kind of legislation is, 90-95% of the time, prompted by prohib groups.
They just don’t seem to get it. Every time they pull this kind of stunt, more and more of their faux ‘public servant’ Teflon coating flakes off in big chunks to reveal the self-serving agenda beneath. An agenda the public is increasingly wise to it…and wise to them.

In a move reminiscent of some kind of childlike harassment, the marijuana card has been played by the Russians in the ongoing conflict between Sweden and Russia:
Weed is what Putin and the Russians need. Light up and lighten up.
Did they mention the interview was probably over beer steins full of vodka???
Ironic quote: Do we pull the white mans ass out of the fire one more time???
.
.
Nah, it was the pilot on the Russian plane who’d been drinking all of the vodka.
In the meantime the Russian economy continues its collapse. 17% interest rates now as the citizens abandon the good ship ruble like the proverbial rats on a sinking ship. On the other hand if you have dollars, euros or just about any other currency as long as it isn’t Zimbabwean dollars it’s time to buy, buy, buy, bye-bye!
It’s giving me flash backs to the utter terror I felt the last time Russia did this which was in 1998. It was my first global financial collapse and I thought we were all going to die. Damn near made our economy collapse because of the financial geniuses running Long Term Capital Management and their idiotic 20:1 leveraged bet on Russian bonds. You should thank your lucky ducks that Warren Buffet was willing to step in and save the economy, asking for nothing more than just a meager profit of several billion dollars (not rubles!) What a mensch!
John Meriwether, where are you now? Oh oh, he’s running another hedge fund. Oh holy shit! He had one in between and lost 3 billion in the W generated financial fiasco. I think I need to start me a hedge fund. Evidently people will give anyone money to run one of those things. How about it people? Everyone here has got the opportunity to get in better than even the ground floor! I’ll get my friends in the sub-basement! It really is the best place in the Pyramid you know. I’ll teach you everything I know about effectively forestalling clawback judgements and those pesky treble damages for usury.
I guess Bernie kept people from being interested in Meriwether’s second folly. At least Mr. Meriwether lost other people’s money honestly. And how in the world could you not admire a man who’s motto is: “bet on a horse that craps just before the race”?
That sounds like an exact description of what happened to Kevin Sabet’s crusade to have rehab centers built for the late great spoken about but little to nothing done change over from arrest to rehab scam being pushed by the ONDCP.
The funding bill will have the funds tucked in it somewhere that will allow the DEA to set up grants for state legislators that can get the rehab centers built using state resources to get enough for the change over.
It is a clear attempt too hook state legislators up to the same teat they have law enforcement addicted too.
Fortunately big investors have shunned the idea because they can read the writing on the wall but that can change when state legislators smell tax dollars

The black truffle (Tuber melanosporum), a very expensive gourmet treat, has been discovered by Italian scientists at the Campus Bio-Medico University of Rome, Italy, to contain anandamide, the same molecule produced by the human body, and discovered by Dr. Raphael Machoulam, as well as being the same molecule cannabinoids mimic to produce a human high or subdue epileptic seizures.
It is theorized that the black, or Périgord truffle, produces anandamide to make the fungi desirable for animals to sniff out and dig up to eat, thereby spreading truffle spores throughout the animal’s domain. It’s not yet known if the Italian white truffle has the same chemical makeup as the black truffle, but research is continuing.
Question: will prohibitionists now ban the truffle and set off a worldwide gourmet war? Stay tuned as the moral panic continues.
I love mushrooms but never understood until now why some one would pay as much for truffles as truffles cost just for the taste,,,me thinks science has found out why it is worth so much and nobody was talking to keep the US govt from having it added to the STC.

India does grow hemp and always has because it was one of the basic food staples when the STC was passed,,the laws in India say you cannot possess the flower tops of the hemp plant so every day on their way home they rub tops between their palms and scrape the “finger hash” off when they get home.

Owsley Stanley, January 19, 1935 – March 12, 2011
Bear, was a key figure in the San Francisco Bay Area during the 1960s, and played a pivotal role in the counterculture of the 1960s. As a crafts-person, he became best known simply as ‘Owsley’ – the LSD “cook” (underground chemist). Under the professional name of “Bear”, he worked with the psychedelic rock band the Grateful Dead’s international fan “family”.
Stanley believed that the natural human diet is a totally carnivorous one, thus making it a no-carbohydrate diet, and that all vegetables are toxic. He claimed to have eaten almost nothing but meat, eggs, butter and cheese since 1959 and that he believed his body had not aged as much as the bodies of those who eat a more “normal” diet. He was convinced that insulin, released by the pancreas when carbohydrates are ingested, is the cause of much damage to human tissue and that diabetes mellitus is caused by the ingestion of carbohydrates. ref

Looks like NE and OK might have opened a Pandora’s Box…

Consequently, it seems to me one possible way (of many) for Colorado to defend its marijuana reform would be to assert a new full-throated attack on federal marijuana prohibition in the Supreme Court in light of the “new evidence” that the majority of US jurisdictions recognize in law the potential value of marijuana as medicine.
At my most recent doctor visit.
ME: “The endocannabinoid system is the master control panel for almost every physiological system in the human body”
Dr. Eliaser: “I know.”
I was kind of shocked and what I recall was wide-eyes and on open mouth on my part. Remarkable when a year previous I suspected that the endocannabinoid system was something my physician was likely unaware of.
But the best part was when he “accused?” me of being a “LIKE A RELIGIOUS FANATIC about cannabis.”
I haven’t been shy about my experience with full extract cannabis oil and of course my physician watched as I shed off EVERY Big Pharma medicine he had been prescribing including an almost 20-year morphine dependency.
So yeah, I was a little stoked. I had to fight the urge to lecture him at every opportunity because I WANT THIS FOR OTHER PATIENTS.
The opportunity to seek and achieve HOMEOSTASIS is a fundamental HUMAN RIGHT and that’s what the fight over Schedule I status is about.
So, to the two Tea Party Republicans from NE and OK, you guys are an embarrassment to the human race. Wake up and smell the terpenes!
With obesity killing millions every year there is remarkably little reporting on cannabis’ ability to achieve weight-loss in consumers. It seems that cannabis induced homeostasis prevents the gut from absorbing too much fat, which is then just excreted out of the body. Big Pharma eat your heart out!
We hear lots of “jokes” about the munchies in the media but I would be willing to bet that regular cannabis consumers have smaller waistlines than the average.
Chris Cristie and Kevin Sabet take note.

Shhhh! Allan! You know how intellectually vacuous the prohibs are! (Waving finger) Don’t give them any ideas!
Kidding aside, since they’ve proven they’re sick enough to excuse State-sanctioned child murder in the name of saving (whose?)children from drugs as being acceptable collateral damage, they’ll do anything…
Pot, politics and music have been a combo for me for 40 years… and having heard one of my faves today, I had to share ’cause it just does that too me. I mean it’s good foot tapping shit, it goes great w/ herb and it’s a political anthem. 3 out of 3.
So here’s to y’all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGGW4IezbC4
Thanks for the nice nugget of nutritional nostalgia!
Old hippies never die, they just float away in a cloud of cannabinoids.
When I want to distort the sound of my amplified guitar, I use a “60s FUZZ” pedal. Canned Heat perfected that distortion trick and made it their signature sound.

6 Ways to Use Hemp and Marijuana That You Never Expected
Cotton? Polyester?
Seriously, what will they do with all the extra room? I’ll bet the few remaining prisoners behind bars are getting lonely, rattling around in a a nearly-empty prison.
I knew all of that about hemp already. In fact, EVERYTHING that is made from crude oil can be made better, longer lasting, cheaper, and greener when made from hemp, it is almost as good at replacing wood, and can also replace cotton (which depletes the soil in which it is grown and requires tons of pesticides — hemp restores the soil in which it is grown and anything planted in that soil after a hemp/marijuana crop will grow better).
looks like conducting no-knock drug raids with head firmly lodged in ying-yang is standard procedure. compensating innocent victims of police insanity is illegal in georgia: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/12/family-of-toddler-injured-in-botched-swat-raid-facing-1-million-in-medical-bills/

These despicable liars should come with a warning label…
Caution: Prohibitionist Gossip May be Hazardous to Your Health.

I got blocked on that page for posting truth LOL
I tried to find out how this “Non-profit Organisation” was funded without success. I get the feeling they are not “parents pricking the balloon of marijuana,” but a pressure group of self-interested parties like police, big pharma, etc. They are clearly worried by the success of social networking media in getting the facts of cannabis out there and are trying to counter that. I think it highly likely they are getting some funding from the federal government i.e. tax payer. Anyone know any more about them?
The more they lose, the more they’ll feel the need to unleash their Inner Whacko.
““A fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject.†– Winston Churchill
For a long time, fanaticism in the DrugWar was very lucrative. But now, it is becoming less so by the day, as more and more citizens in currently non-legal States contemplate re-legalization.
The very pressures that causes will flush out into the open every enemy of cognitive liberty in the society, marking them for easy identification by their hysterical diatribes against cannabis, and of course, ‘saving’ the children from it.
So, they’re actually doing us a favor by venting their ignorance and prejudice publicly. If any should attempt to run for public office in the future, their wild-eyed fulminations can be used to show the public the true face of prohibitionism…and why people like them should always be kept from the buttons and levers of power they are perpetually lusting for.
WOW, that Churchill quote makes me a fanatic, I’ve been preaching an end to the drug war since the early 70s, it’s been daily activity for me, I have also been doing the same on the horrible duopoly that controls politics in our country and trying to educate people on libertarianism, to lead them to, at the very least, a Constitutional government and hopefully to true anarchy where it is (as our own allan wrote)”anarchy is about individual personal responsibility” and leaving everyone else alone to live their own lives as they see fit (so long as they do not violate the unalienable rights to life, liberty, and property of others, in any way). And lately I’ve been a fanatic on police brutality and getting away with all kinds of crimes up to and including murder.
Does anyone see even no labels blue-dogs inserting BS abrogating gains by popular referendums?

I’ve been suggesting that everyone who supports ending the war on cannabis, plant at least ONE cannabis plant in their backyard garden/greenhouse, they cannot possibly arrest everyone, the courts and jails would both be overwhelmed (overwhelming the courts would be a good thing, IMNSHO but they would just choose to NOT arrest in the first place so overwhelming will likely never happen).
i’m with you Windy. got at least one sprout on the back porch already. it’s been ten years since i bought any dope.

Here’s yet another shocker. My 20-20 hindsight says that I should have deduced that this was very possible after seeing the Canadian Army engage in a battle against a rather large cannabis field in Afghanistan a few years back.

“… before I joined the army, I never thought I’d say ‘That damn marijuana’.”
if you take the idea that one human has the right and duty to control the blood chemistry of another human to it’s logical conclusion, then one state should be able to meddle with the laws of other states. next the government might try control the genetic makeup of it’s citizens. like rounding up people with the wrong genetics.

2013? wow… still hitting them…
I had only heard his records and maybe 8-track. When I saw him in the early 70’s he freaked me out at first. Then blew me away. I thought he was on so much speed his head was going to explode. I had never seen a head explode. Freaked me out again when I over heard a religious couple in the breakroom talking about this wonderful singer named Joe Cocker with this amazing song love lifts us up… A few miles from Woodstock. R.I.P. Joe and Thank You…

Can we get an opinion from an actual lawyer? Oh wait! Here’s one:
Feeble as they are, still conspiring.
I am not going to join in the other discussions here.i simply want to point out how disingenuous conservatives are when they rail against The Federal Government and “Big Government” and how dishonest they are when they invoke States’ Rights.
In truth, small government really means cutting off welfare to “the blacks ” and States Rights really means lynching the queers and “the blacks” with impunity.
Right wingers, stop stealing libertarian rhetoric because you are a bunch of lying and dangerous folks who love Big Government and Federal Power whenever it can be used to hammer down the underprivileged and to legitimize your antediluvian and parochial prejudices.
Oklahoma needs some more of that HIDTA money, on account of that HUGE border they share with Colorado. And Nebraska? Really. I really have to get my hands on a complaint. Should the Attorneys General prevail, wouldn’t that mean smaller budgets and fewer forfeitures? Maybe their hoping the Supremes will remove MJ from the CSA, after which the corn huskers and oakies can reap tax benefits with even less work.
