These are all state matters under our system of dual sovereignty, not national ones. If the majority in your town wish to outlaw drugs, or your county, or state, that's fine with me.
Just out of curiosity, what do you think a person is arrested for when they're picked up for possession of marijuana/cocaine/meth, etc.? The vast majority are being charged via State RSAs.

The states enacted laws mirroring the Federal law. State legislatures figured there was no point in keeping something legal that the Feds considered a crime since they're required to enforce both anyway.
Who is required to enforce both? If I didn't have a State RSA I wouldn't be making an arrest.
Marijuana legalization gets brought up fairly often. It goes down in the flames of public opinion just as often. As I've said before, I simply don't care if they legalize drugs or not. It needs to be an all or nothing proposition, though.
I'm eagerly awaiting the day when I can empty out all the drugs in the evidence room and stick them in a barrel onn a main road. I hope the ambulance has four flats that day....
