how can they not have the authority to legalize it if it was they they made it illegal to begin with????
you have to go back further than that, to prohibition. To criminalize the manufacture, transfer, sale, and possession of alcohol, what did the government have to do?

As for regulation, they can regulate any product they choose so long as it is put into law.

so you think congress can regulate whether or not you can plant daisies or roses in your front yard?
 
You are mistaken. It would be very difficult to tax your tomato plants- more effort than the revenue could pay for. And MJ, since it grows "like a weed", on a windowsill, and takes very little to supply one person, would be nearly impossible to tax.

ok, the taxing wouldn't be worth the effort, but where do they get authority to regulate it?
 
Look out .. here comes the cold water ...

Drug czar: Feds (Obama) won't support legalized pot

The federal government is not going to pull back on its efforts to curtail marijuana farming operations, Gil Kerlikowske, director of the White House's Office of National Drug Control Policy, said Wednesday in Fresno.

The nation's drug czar, who viewed a foothill marijuana farm on U.S. Forest Service land with state and local officials earlier Wednesday, said the federal government will not support legalizing marijuana.

"Legalization is not in the president's vocabulary, and it's not in mine," he said.

Kerlikowske said he can understand why legislators are talking about taxing marijuana cultivation to help cash-strapped government agencies in California. But the federal government views marijuana as a harmful and addictive drug, he said.

Obama claiming a new approach on drug policy in the US was just a mindfuck.

Change does not come from tthe center.

WAKE UP

save our parks, forests and wildlife areas, legalize pot

first differentiate between medical and non-medical

a abill would have to be passed to legalize pot, so along with that add language to regulate it...at the state level
