Medical Marijuana

For those who are not in the U.S. and/or are not familar with U.S. laws related to cannabis, there are federal laws that are supposed to apply to all 50 states. On the Federal level at present time, cannabis is still considered illegal for any reason including medicinally.

However, to date 39 states have legalized cannabis medicinally and 24 states have legalized it recreationally.

How can this be? How can it be illegal at the federal level but certain states have legalized it? In short, those states have ignored federal law. Could the federal government send a federal force into each of those states and forcibly arrest, shut down, etc cannabis operations or at the very least cut off federal funding to said states? Yes. But that hasn't happened.

Australia has some similarities to the US in the way that we are a federation of self governing states. Technically the federal government rules over all but in reality they have to tread carefully and not step on toes to heavily or the states will revolt. We have a very long history of disputes between different states and the feds, Queensland has previously threatened to secede from the federation and Western Australia has almost done it twice.

Yeah, the whole situation looks confusing. When I got my medical card through Leafy DOC I asked the doctor how it’s allowed if it’s still federally illegal. They said the federal government just chooses not to enforce as long as you stay within your state. So everyday use falls under state rules. The only real “don’t” is crossing state lines. That’s where the federal part kicks back in.
 
I've been buying from chronicguru, it's legal and has no THC but has THCa. Doesn't get you stoned but does something to you. I'd like to get some real weed. I bought weed in NYC 10 years ago when it was advertised on Craigslist. They delivered to your door.
Maybe I can use PTSD to get medical marijuana. Hospitals and Drs gave me PTSD.

In another thread you say you're bipolar. If true then canabinoids are possibly the worst drugs you could take. They trigger bipolar and schizophrenic episodes.
