Just stay off of federal property with any cannabis it's still a class 1 drug in their eyes and they say the seller can't make a profit so that will be interesting. Grab some munchies sit back the movie is about to start......

Thoughts: YAAAAYY! Seriously though, I wonder how the feds are going to keep the UN off their back. I know there's been pressure by the UN to not allow states to do this.

The feds aren't worried about state laws. They're worried about these decisions impacting the prison system. And if they make the mandates federal - Well then we have a whole new prison system to worry about. Although I'm positive not too many people are in the federal penitentiary for an ounce or less.

I think it's great that they are taking steps in the right direction. They still have a long way to go to get the rest of the country.
