Letter to the Editor Marijuana case will erode states rights

Kansas and Oklahoma are most likely going to win the Supreme Court argument against legal marijuana.

This means states I have never imagined living in I do now have the right to make me a criminal in my own home again. Even if our state does win it would set a terrible precedent I would not be comfortable with. The law can only be changed on a national level.

Since I am soon going to be a criminal again and always have been in the eyes of our national law enforcement, I am going to be bold and just assume those sheriffs are bigots. What do these unrepentant ill-informed malcontents wish to accomplish? Their lies about pot no longer hold the sway they once did.

The misinformation they are trying to spread is provably wrong. You are destroying lives and generations over lies.

The more these bigots, intimidate, imprison and degrade their own citizens, the more the truth spreads. How long will certain public officials remain on the wrong side of a filthy lie? What do they hope to accomplish?

Remember what goes around comes around. I am already buying Confederate flag rolling papers for when your states rights hit the high courts. So hook that to your tractor and pull it!
