While your right, your also very wrong. Marijuana is legal in very small amounts in multiple places around the United States. For example, the last vote in Denver Colorado passed a law that legalized small amounts of marijuana for possesion in the county of Denver. Does this make it legal? No. Why you might ask. Just as in Alaska, it is illegal to exchange marijuana as well as it is illegal to grow marijuana. With those two things deemed illegal, how is one suppose to obtain marijuana? The Alaskan Constitution states that it is legal for personal use, but if its illegal to grow or buy, how is one suppose to obtain the marijuana? The only legal method is through a medical facility. Therefor anyone who uses marijuana outside of the medical scope is performing an illegal act.

Secondly, we all know that federal law trumpts state law. Even if the Alaskan Constitution states that marijuana is legal, the federal judicial system still over rules making marijuana illegal throughout the entire 50 states. If you really believe that marijuana is legal in Alaska, I would encourage you to try it out sometime. Walk into the state court house with a baggie of pot. Let me know how it goes :classic:
