Btmj, I am a Missourian as well and agree with you. While I can appreciate the point they are trying to get across with the bill, it is quite simply a waste of time, the bill would never pass the whole legislature and as such is dead on arrival. I don't think any of MO Law Enforcement community want a whizzing match with the Feds, the state then runs the risk of losing a lot of Federal $ for roads etc. etc. Honestly I am surprised that the Feds haven't played the $ withholding game on states that legalized marijuana, a different administration would probably have played it differently, maybe not better but differently. I actually respect the Feds for honoring some of the States laws with regard to marijuana and even same sex marriages. The Federal Laws should be very minimal and with regard to national threats/interests only, let the states decide how to legislate they own states, each state is different and has their own preferences.
