We already fought a civil war over states rights, and that issue has been decided. If/when the feds cut off the money - the California politicians will fold. Do you really doubt that? Also, Bush didn't go after MJ because we didn't try to "legalize it" when he was King. ...
he tried but he couldn't for the very simple fact that we don't kings in the U.S. We have a system of federalism that allows both local laws and local law enforement and national laws and national law enforement.

Was the State of New York "poking the bear" when they ended their state alcohol prohibition laws ten years before the end of federal alcohol prohibition? No. They were using their constitutional right to set their own local State laws. This is how national policy is made in our united states.

but, I'm not going to argue this any more. if you guys want to believe that we need to bow down to the "king" then go ahead.
