“The conservative Republican attorneys general of Nebraska and Oklahoma recently filed a lawsuit urging the Supreme Court to invalidate marijuana legalization in neighboring Colorado.”
“The two states rely heavily on Gonzales v. Raich, a 2005 Supreme Court decision that ruled that Congress can use its power to regulate interstate commerce to ban possession of medical marijuana, even in cases where the marijuana in question had never crossed state lines or been part of any commercial transaction.”
Anyone following my HUSH for Rush post series understands that I have an upcoming post detailing the inevitably unconstitutional nature of the war on some drugs (and, at least arguably, the worst apparently unintended consequence from any judicial ruling).
If you want to get a head start with help from this posted foreshadow, the following part of the aforementioned quote offers a solid hint regarding one of the most serious national problems “We the people” (i.e. ‘team blue’, ‘team red’, and anyone else) face…
“…ruled that Congress can use its power to regulate interstate commerce to ban possession of medical marijuana, even in cases where the marijuana in question had never crossed state lines or been part of any commercial transaction.”

I'm an honest freak (or reasonably responsibly balanced "misfit", if you prefer) of an artist working and resting to best carefully contribute towards helping society. Too many people abuse reasoning (e.g. 'partial truth = whole truth' scam), while I exercise reason to explore and express whole truth without any conflict-of-interest.
