Pot and Federalism
Law Professor Jonathan Turley supports San Francisco's attempt to grow its own pot. Not because he cares about pot, or its medicinal uses for the terminally ill, but because:
"Whatever societal risks are presented by terminally ill patients getting stoned, they pale in comparison with the political risks of yielding to federal authority in this area. Of course, it may be too much to hope that there is more than mere opportunism in the recent embrace of federalism. "
We agree, although we care more about the need for marijuana to be made available to those who could benefit from its medicinal use.
