She can't have it both ways. A big difference is the federal government didn't sue Arizona over Prop 203 as it did SB 1070. The federal government hasn't sued any of the 16 states that have passed medical marijuana laws. Not to mention the states that have decriminalized non-medical cannabis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Places_that_have_decriminalized_non-medical_cannabis_in_the_United_States People don't like prohibition of marijuana any more than they liked prohibition of alcohol - with alcohol being much more intoxicating and damaging to society. Keeping marijuana on the black market also keeps it easily accessible to minors. It's much easier for teens and 20-somethings to get than any other age group. And as adults, as with alcohol, we don't need a parental government dictating what we can and can't put into our own bodies as long as we are not harming others. This has nothing to do with "messages to young people" - they can already get it if they want it, and they fear the law & consequences the least. I agree Nick. She can’t have it both ways.

People don’t like prohibition of marijuana any more than they liked prohibition of alcohol – with alcohol being much more intoxicating and damaging to society. Keeping marijuana on the black market also keeps it easily accessible to minors. It’s much easier for teens and 20-somethings to get than any other age group. And as adults, as with alcohol, we don’t need a parental government dictating what we can and can’t put into our own bodies as long as we are not harming others.
