:shrug:
I mean, it doesn't seem like any civil rights are involved (except in reverse) so I can't see what rationale would be used, but no doubt there would be an effort immediately.

1. Expect court battles on prop 19. |
|
They will be strangely well funded by shadowy figures.

2. But on what grounds? Certainly no civil rights. |
|
I have no doubt there will be well-funded opposition, but will they have any legal footing?

3. Oh I don't know, I'm not a lawyer. |
|
I just suspect some fight from the right and the DEA on this.

4. The DEA(which has never done anything good) |

will be on the case to overturn Prop 19. They parasitical existence depends upon it.

5. That's an excellent question and I don't know the answer |
|
Perhaps those who decided pot was illegal in the first place.

6. Preemption by Federal Law just like with Az???? |
|
Interstate commerce clause gives the Feds the right to control commerce and they say it is illegal. Feds law comes first.
Just my thought - no expertise
