Can you elaborate? Because I have purchased legally sold cannabis up the East coast of the USA. Both recreational and medical cannabis. Do you mean on a federal level?
I also own a medical cannabis card issued to me by the state I live in.
I’m also unsure about your corporation comments. Most dispensaries are owned by mom and pops or startups. Do, do you live in the USA? Just curious.
work in the industry and have for years and with legal experts on this matter in different states and am not the first generation in the family to do so and no this does not make me an expert but an observer throughout the years
most mom and pop dispensaries are usually funded by corporate cannabis funds either by loans or investments and more times than not eventually bought out
yes you may have bought products from a legal dispensary but if you get pulled by the wrong cop and there are more of them than good ones you could face five years or more for simple possession or just get a slap on the wrist even in legal states
all depends on the cops and the judges and what they say the story is, there are no lab tests done for most court cases, and terry stops are on the rise were reasonable suspicion is not needed to pull over and toss the contents of the vehicles
not just the federal illegality of it but the states not coming together on laws both with cannabis and other laws that touch the laws making cannabis illegal such as Roe v. Wade falling
Biden promising then flip flopping on cannabis and then him and his party not properly defending women's rights have opened a huge rift allowing for more extortion of the US citizens and not much legal ground is left to defend one's self
No, when you say that cannabis is not legal in the USA in any state in any sense…
What exactly do you mean by that? I just gave you numerous examples of the legality of cannabis in some states. I literally have a state issued ID to have and consume marijuana. How do you justify your statement with the facts I have given you?
mean there is nothing protecting your right to your state issued ID to have and consume cannabis products
have something all day long but whether your right to do is protected is altogether a different story
we are now dealing with this with the drug mifepristone
a state may allow you to have it but is the right to carry that medication protected if you go elsewhere in the "United States" or just elsewhere in the state you are in
some cities are now half medical and/or recreational and the other half illegal and/or medicinal
just like with cannabis that now has become a questionable scenario and a very fractured and confusing place to navigate legally
