There are some federal forms that ask about drug use and will disqualify you for use of marijuana. For example, employment forms and firearm background checks. And if you lie, they are still enforcing those laws. So while you may not go to prison for smoking weed, you might go to prison for smoking weed while doing something else that is regulated.

Good, I appreciate their help with legalizing marijuana.

We have to figure out how to regulate it rather than making it illegal.

For instance, minors should be protected from it*, but medical marijuana must be available to minors with certain medical conditions.

And DUIs must be prevented. That includes employment forms for operating heavy equipment.

Those legalizing and those still fighting the racist drug war share some problems.

* and also protected from harmful law enforcement practices
