Those crazy hippies out in Cali are trying desperately to make pot legal. Again.
Since their state is filled with stoners and needs cash, the theory is that legalizing and taxing Mary Jane would help reduce their giant budget deficit.
Hold onto that bong, bluntman. Apparently, "the only problem is the State of California can't legalize marijuana. Marijuana is illegal under federal law, and a state can't change federal law."
I'm gonna let my friends formally schooled in Constitutional Law to clear this up for me. Guys? Can we get a probono opinion in the comments?

my official legal opinion is that, if they find some way to make this pass, i'm totally moving to cali.
on the real, though, i was way too high during most of law school to have anything beyond a vague recollection of constitutional law. but that whole thing about federal law superceding state law is probably true.
