There was a big fuss a month ago when Facebook rejected ads for Just Say Now, a grass-roots movement urging legalization of marijuana for adult personal use.

The Denver Post today has a long article on the changing landscape in marijuana politics. What I found interesting, was the ad banner at the top of the article.

Come on, Facebook. If the Denver Post can run an ad, why can't you?

    It's not that the Ghost "can" take MJ ads, rather due to the fact that they are hemorrhaging cash, they're pretty much forced to "have" to take ads from whomever is willing to cut them a check.  In other words, beggars can't be choosers.

    FB, on the other hand, has no such problem.

    IMHO, the CSA precludes a preemption attack on prop 19. Legalization not unconstitutional because it doesn't require an act that violates federal law, it just permits it.  Leads me to believe that those who passed the CSA to begin with contemplated states where various drugs were legalized under state law and feds could choose to either enforce federal law or not.
