QUESTION 9 IS POINTLESS
The more I think about it, I feel that Question 9 is a joke and a complete
waste of time. The ones advocating the use of marijuana have spent
thousands and thousands of dollars in an attempt to pass this ballot
question. Chances are, if this initiative passes, nothing will happen.
Sure, we will have a law that stipulates that marijuana can be used.
However, this law will contradict with federal law. Chances are that even
if we have this law, it will go to federal court, possibly even the Supreme
Court, where it will most likely deem this issue as unconstitutional.
All I can say is, if Question 9 passes, enjoy the idea of using marijuana
while it lasts because more than likely the federal government will
determine that this issue isn't our right.
