THE AMENDMENT THAT WASN'T

Section 1.
After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture, sale, or transportation of marijuana, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for recreational or medical purposes is hereby prohibited.

Section 2.
The Congress and the several States shall have concurrent power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Section 3.
This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of the several States, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the States by the Congress.




Seems like this amendment would have had to been ratified before they started arresting people for marijuana but unfortunately, I 'm just a simpleminded hick with no law schooling.

  3. i'm guessing there are tons of other laws on the books that can make life difficult for lovers of the herb.

    i think each new one is just some piece of shit for the author to put on his/her resume.

  4. Yeah billy, I don't get it.
    They had to amend the constitution to make alcohol illegal but not anything else.
    Oklahoma has a marijuana tax stamp that you are suppose to display if you are a dealer but if you do display it, that would give probable cause to search that place and arrest you for having pot.
    Catch 22 big time.
