[RI] Rhode Island Secedes from Union

[RI] Rhode Island Secedes from Union

Monday, May 16, 2011
turnto10.com



PROVIDENCE- Nearly a week after federal agencies threaten Rhode Island's Medical Marijuana Dispensery Program, Medical Pot advocates call on Governor Lincoln Chafee to "Defy the U.S. Attorney".


Peter Neronha wrote Chafee on April 29 to warn that dispensaries could be prosecuted for violating federal drug laws even if they operate with state permission.

Patients and advocates said at the State House on Monday that it's cruel to force people to hunt for their medicine on the street.

One patient said he was looking for medical marijuana near Prairie Avenue in Providence when a 12-year-old put a gun to his head and told him to leave or he would be shot.

The issue grew from Dean Derobbio’s arrest in January 2010 for allegedly conspiring with his roommate to possess marijuana. He was also charged with carrying a dangerous weapon while committing a crime of violence. The crime of violence was growing marijuana, according to prosecutors and the police, and the charge carries a mandatory three years in prison for a defendant convicted of a first offense. Chafee announced that the state would hold off giving final permits to groups picked by the state to supply marijuana thru the states medical marijuana program. But as pressure from federal agencies increase, Chafee and advocates opted for a 2nd option; to secede from the Union.

"Let it be known that we are not drug cartels hiding behind the veil of state law. Quiet the contrary.  We are caregivers and health providers that devoted our lives to help people in need," said Chafee spokesman Mike Trainor.

The Secession was based on the idea of states rights. This exalted power of the individual states to impose their own law as opposed to those of the Federal government. Its generally rested on the theory of state sovereignty- that in the United States the ultimate source of political authority lay in the separate states.

"The government is only as strong as its states which is only as its citizens. I don't fear my own power nor do I fear my nuclear arms..." JoAnne Leppanen of the Road Island Patient Advocacy Coalition.

The Republicans, already convinced that much of the Federal Legislation is unconstitutional, are willing to exploit the "false, scandalous, and malicious" against the government. The Constitution did nor, in so many words, give the Supreme Court the power to decide the Court could rightfully assume the power.

Trainor said Chafee wants to engage in discussion with other governors of states with similar marijuana dispensery programs.

Most of those states have also received warning letters from federal authorities.

California should secede from the union and legalize marijuana...
We'll probably generate more money than the USA!

There is some truth to this I think because I just read something similar
to this matter but in Vermont. Nothing about succeeding from the union tho.

Federal government has gotten too big.
The only answer is to burn this planet down, decimate 75% of it's population and start over.
Word on the galactic streets is that they've fucked this one up.
I like radishes sometimes if they aren't too bitter.
