You know it doesn't sound right that it would be passed to the Federal government after it passes here. Did we do that with Medical Marijuana, or are the still raiding us even today.
Also weed is legal in a ski resort in Colorado up to an ounce. The Feds had no say about that either.

Also Arnie will sign it I think because he was the one who said it was time for a discussion.

state laws do not go to the federal government for approval, it's all within the state
now, we do have state laws and federal laws conflicting, i.e. federal law criminalizes marijuana
federal law probably won't change anytime soon, but at the moment only very large marijuana cases get federal attention

the feds will go after any grower who will give them a spot on the news. if it's gonna make headlines, it's a worthwhile arrest.

and yeah, state laws are only local, federal laws are another court system. and while laws sometimes conflict, the federal government relies on local law enforcement to give them a helping hand when investigating drug cases. local law enforcement also likes to keep big drug cases because it grabs headlines, but a few lbs of pot will probably get you federal attention.... it's just the way it is....

seems the federal interest does vary a bit from area to area
and they do seem to operate with local law enforcement help
i'm just waiting for the day when local law enforcement says NO
cali maybe, or that Colorado town that legalized weed
what's going to happen then? i'm not sure, but i'd love to see it

The bill has passed but it never legalized weed. Everything will be the same tomorrow as it was yesterday. This bill will die at the end of the session (which is this week) HOWEVER there is another bill being introduced, in a month, that is very similiar to this bill..

MEANING.. no laws were changed with this passed bill... this is a test bill.. the real bill is going in a month and will have this same vote but then will be passed to the house for a final vote.. if its passed in the house then it goes to arnolds desk to be signed.. if he doesnt sign it then its not passed.. Im not familiar in Californias constitution but where Im from we can assign committes to override the govenors veto power

Thanks! These are the steps I have been curious about.. Governor S. is the final step - the feds have no say in these affairs especially with Obama in office.. :bigjoint:

You got that right... Gov. S. is the last person to decide on this matter and he still smokes pot so i bet he will sign the bill :D

This is going to cause a shitstorm in the US because the US has been saying its a horrible drugs for all these years. Now if 1 state legalizes it, it will open a lot of eyes! I hope BC goes more into debt with the stupid olympics so we can pay it off with weed taxes!
