In reply to the discussion: BREAKING! - DOJ SURRENDERS ON LEGAL WEED [View all]Volaris
(11,721 posts)"A system adequate to that task must not only contain robust controls and procedures on paper; it must also be effective in practice."
DOJ basically just said "All right, here's why the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT is worried about legal Weed. You keep this list of things from happening AT A STATE LEVEL, and whatever else you want to do with this is fine with us. But if you DON'T keep these things from happening, we promise you're going to find out what the Business End of a Hammer is used for." It's a warning as much as it is an acquiescence.
Welcome to the Modern, and I think quite appropriate and useful, interpretation of States' Rights. As the above poster stated, it's also the only position DOJ could have taken, and not been left a laughing stock.
