“If states want to legalize medical marijuana, I think that’s a state’s right,” Cain said while campaigning in Iowa. “Because one of my overriding approaches to looking at all of these issues — most of them belong at the state, because when you do something federally … you try to force one-size-fits-all.”

Florida Gov. Rick Scott singed a controversial bill this week that makes welfare recipients in his state, first submit to a urine, blood or hair sample for drug testing before they receive benefits. After signing the bill, he told reporters, “The goal of this is to make sure we don’t waste taxpayers’ money, and hopefully more people will focus on not using illegal drugs.” A positive test will get you an immediate ban on Temporary Assistance for Needy Families for six months.

Is there not a governor in any of the fifteen medical marijuana states who will show some leadership and challenge the federal government’s bullying? The feds don’t even acknowledge such a thing as “medical marijuana”! The US Dept. of Justice’s position is that anyone anywhere in the United States in possession of a single joint is committing a misdemeanor worth a year in prison and anyone growing a single plant is committing a felony worth five years in prison.

What you will lose are the jobs that were created by a dispensary industry. You’ll lose the potential sales taxes and payroll taxes and money staying in Montana instead of flowing to other states or Mexico. You’ll lose the ability to know where the medical marijuana is being grown and where it is being bought and sold and knowing there will be some level of security, identification checking, agricultural quality controls, and zoning regulations. You just made the underground market broader and deeper now that 9 out of 10 legal consumers will be returned to criminal status.
