Which brings up another interesting question: Why haven't states taken a hard stance against the federal government on this? What would happen if Colorado state troopers stood up to federal DEA agents and said no, you have no authority here. I seriously doubt it'd come to blows, or gunfire, but in this case I think the states need to take a solid, protective stance against federal intrusion. For once, this type of resistance is a good thing.

- TallGuyShort 9y agoI'm very much against the federal ban on marijuana, but it doesn't even begin to make it onto the list of things that I think are worth taking up arms for, much less expecting someone else to take up arms on my behalf. (Even though, yes, I'd like them to stop taking up arms against pot heads). There's also still a lot of opposition to the current, permissive marijuana regulation in Colorado, so it's hardly the kind of thing the state is in a position to take that hard a stance on.
