But please use that same logic on all the Anti gun folks that want to take away my rights.

The Fed has already established that they will not interfere with state's rights concerning legalization of MJ. And honestly, it it wasn't so close to election time, I'm pretty sure there would be soon a national conversation, about removing MJ from the Federal Schedule as a Class A drug.
I guess we'll see when the next justice department is sworn in.

Judge Kimberly J. Mueller said she would rule within 30 days on the request, which comes amid looser enforcement of U.S. marijuana laws, including moves to legalize its recreational use in Washington state, Colorado, Oregon and Alaska.
In their case before Mueller in U.S. District Court in Sacramento, defense lawyers have argued that U.S. law classifying pot as a Schedule One drug, which means it has no medical use and is among the most dangerous, is unconstitutional, given that 23 states have legalized the drug for medical use.
Lawyer Zenia Gilg, who represented defense attorneys for all of the men during closing arguments, pointed to Congress' recent decision to ban the Department of Justice from interfering in states' implementation of their medical marijuana laws as evidence of her contention that the drug's classification as Schedule One should be overturned.

These people need to stfu and gtfh.
I'm tired of these people who don't agree with something trying to take away MY RIGHT to do something that doesn't affect them.
This is why the no alcohol sales on Sunday in GA pissed me off for so long: you might not like it but YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO TAKE AWAY MY RIGHT JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE IT. ESPECIALLY politicians. Period.
I wonder if this group cares enough about other things that are far more important and affect people for more adversely than some people smoking pot. These people just need to mind their own business and grow the hell up.
I'm sick of people getting into others' business when it doesn't affect them.

How does one exercise freedom? They come together, using WILL power and collective momentum, they demand that which they want/need.
