States should have certain rights, and I do support full federal legalization. I just also don’t want the president to be so powerful they can override congress and the states because that’s a dictator.

Like the Southern States during the Civil War?
It’s kind of a popular opinion again these days, but I don’t agree with it.
Also, you may be disappointed to find out that the Congress Research Services determined a president is that powerful, and can simply replace any agency head that disagrees with it.
Now, maybe your comfortable with Biden not abusing that, but whether Biden uses that power or not, every other president has that option.
So how much do you pressure Biden to change that?
That’s the thing with “moderates” they won’t use power to help because it might be used to harm, but they do nothing about stopping that abuse permanently.
They don’t offer any solutions to either side of an issue, be a use the threat of the other side abusing the powers moderates won’t use, is often the only way voters can be convinced to vote for a moderate.
No, the southern states argued that under no circumstances could the federal government ban anything.
And I do think he should replace agency heads. But I’m pretty sure it’s a congressional ban not an fda or DEA ban. But yeah, dude’s a moderate. It’s why I voted against him in the primaries this year and in 2020. But also knock it the fuck off. You sound like a lunatic. You don’t make you sound smart or your opponents sound evil, you make your position sound dumber than it has to.
Edit: it looks like it’s banned by scheduling which is its own entire can of worms and the entire scheduling system needs to be abolished or completely overhauled, but yeah my misconception on that is very common so maybe start there rather than by calling people confederates
And the reason I fear executive overreach is because the next republican will do it and I want it struck down before my fucking life is ruined as their current favorite target
Actually, state law does supersede federal law. Federal law only comes into effect when moving between states. Because a state in the classic definition is a country, not a territory of another country. In other words, each of our 50 states is a country, the country of New Hampshire, the country of Texas, the country of Arizona, and they just happen to have agreed to be underneath a bigger entity.
I’m going to give the benefit of the doubt here and guess you’re thinking of the 10th amendment that says in short ‘if a right isn’t specifically given to the feds it is reserved to the states’, but that doesn’t put state law over federal law in any case.
Yes, we did. And at the rate the federal government is abusing the states, it would not surprise me if we find ourselves an another one. Empires rise and empires fall. Look at history for some examples.
Dude, pot was decriminalized in Ohio a long while ago, and we just legalized it against our government’s wishes.
That’s my point.
The longer moderate Dems drag their feet, the more argument there is precedent state law supercedes federal law.
Do you legitimately not see the issue with that?
Are both parties going to be yelling about state rights now? Because I thought we had a while longer before shit got that bad.

We literally fought a war over this…
The side with your opinion lost btw.
