 So, it's legal in the clinics in this state; but Federals can (and do/will) arrest you and confiscate...  I'm sorry - "seize"-...no, STEAL whatever they damn well please from you. How in the flying fuck can this happen?
 State to citizens - "Go ahead, light up; we passed legislation OKing it. You're alright."
 Feds to citizens - "Cool. You are under arrest for possesion of a controlled substance; any monies and items of value you may have we are going to TAKE from you while we have you locked up. Thanks, State."
 State to Feds - "Um... yeh. Uh.. no problem. Sorry, there, citizens. We said it was legal; but I guess you're going to jail anyway. Let us know how that works out for ya."
 Citizen - Weird Tingly Feeling?

 And Law Enforcement and Government wonder why they get no respect nowadays.
 Hey fellas- it's because you deserve NONE. Bunch of theiving state-endorsed bullies.

I've been saying that since I was old enough to know what the State was.

Yeh, but you guys dont have your province tell you its ok; then the Federal (National, whatever y'all call it) Law locking you up for the same thing and "confiscating" anything they want; your boat, your truck, your cash, your house... 

 Say. What are housing prices like up there? Seriously.

I wonder if you can sue the state for saying something it's legal if it's not.

Well, back to the basement for smocking then...

How about suing a city for telling you "It's ok, go ahead and get married you guys, it's totally legit now! I'm the mayor of San Fancisco, you can trust me and my word is law!"
