They should be forced to pick a side. Either the Feds can legalize it...and accept the taxes from the legal sale, or they can continue to schedule it as an illegal substance...in that case only the states who legalize it should be able to collect taxes on it.

Which side are you on boys?

It's beyond hypocritical to cash the tax checks while still holding the possibility of federal prosecution over their heads.
