The differences in the forms in which states have legalized marijuana

      What do you think of the differences in the forms in which states have legalized marijuana? In about half of the states it is still illegal to possess, and in the other half it is legal to possess mostly for medical purposes, but at least five states have now legalized possession of small amounts for recreational purposes. Some of these states put it on the ballot and let the people decide whether or not to legalize it. What do you think about the fact that the people have voted to legalize marijuana but federally it is still illegal? Should anything be done by the federal government to step in and make the laws uniform across the country, either invalidating the ballot votes, or changing federal law to legalize or decriminalize possession?
