Comment on Does each country have a book/library of the laws of the land that a commoner can consult to check if they're about to do something illegal?

higher body might just choose not to argue with the lower body over conflicting laws, like with cannabis legalization

Reminder that marijuana is still federally illegal.

If you are a non-citizen, you could get deported for posession of marijuana, even if your state “legalized” it, because it would still be a crime under federal laws.

So, pro tip: gain citizenship first, then, after you’ve been sworn in and got the citizenship papers, then you can safely smoke weed…

(Yes, people do get placed into deportation proceedings for possession weed, especially under this current shitty administration)
