    The states have demonstrably had the choice to decriminalize Marijuana since 1973, not doing so by now can be seen as their choice to keep it a restricted substance.

    EDIT: To be clear, I’m explaining their thoughts on the subject, not agreeing with them.

      If a state has zero laws about cannabis federal schedule makes it illegal

      And many of the states that haven’t legalized use the federal schedule as rational.to not legalize.

      If they want them illegal, they can pass a law making them illegal. That’s how it’s supposed to be work.

      Not states having to legalize something on a state level because the federal government claims it’s one of the most dangerous drugs in the country, but won’t actually enforce people flagrantly breaking the law…

      Have you ever tried reading anything about this? Like, ever?
