O knihe
More than half of the country's 50 states have legalized the use of marijuana at least for medical purposes, and about a dozen have gone further in legalizing it for recreational use. Either step would have been almost inconceivable just two decades ago. But marijuana remains an illegal "controlled substance" under a 1970 federal law, so those who sell or grow it could still face federal prosecution.
How can state and federal laws be in such conflict? And could federal law put new state laws in jeopardy at some point? Marijuana Federalism is the first detailed examination of these and other questions surrounding this highly unusual conflict between state and federal policies and laws.
Marijuana Federalism surveys the constitutional issues that come into play with this conflict, as well as the policy questions related to law enforcement at the federal versus state levels. It also describes specific areas-such as banking regulations-in which federal law has particularly far-reaching effects.
Readers will gain a greater understanding of federalism in general, including how the division of authority between the federal and state governments operates in the context of policy and legal disputes between the two distinct levels. This book will also help inform debates as other states consider whether to jump on the marijuana legalization bandwagon.
