The times, they are a changing.
A couple years ago I started a thread in this forum to discuss my dilemma. I stated I am resident of Canada that travels to the USA for holidays many times a year. I am also a marijuana user. I talk...

As a retired cop I am going to say something that may surprise some people hear a former cop say this.
I always enforced the law when I was a cop even if I did not agree with the law. I personally believe that people have the right the take whatever they wanted as long as it did not harm anyone else. We outlawed booze and it was a big failure. If it was legal it would remove the profit and incentive to sell and smuggle dope. Let the druggies take anything they want, however here comes the BIG BUT. If they ever choose to leave their house and endanger anyone else while driving under the influence the should and will be executed if caught even if they do not get into an accident. If you want to put junk into your body that is your business, if you get in a vehicle and endanger my life and other peoples lives it becomes the business of the law. One of the many reasons I like traveling in an RV is the fact that I take prescription medication for pain. If I am in a lot of pain I take pain medication but I never drive after taking a pill. I have had times where I was in so much pain I could not wait to drive to a camp ground so I stopped off at a rest stop before I took my legally prescribed pill. I have never smoked the stuff in my entire life and I have been curious if it could relieve my pain but I will never take the risk of doing it because regardless of state law it is against federal law
By the way when my father was in the hospital he shared the room with someone that was smoking the stuff. I assume the hospital provided the stuff so that he could keep his food down without throwing up. I have heard it is useful for cancer patients, but From the way I have read your post it seems like you are looking for an excuse to get high.
Once again I really don't think it is anyones business what you do to yourself, but the second you get behind the wheel under the influence you deserve to be executed be cause you are putting other peoples lives in danger.
At this point it really does not matter because regardless of state law I doubt the feds will allow it in the near future
