Denver Post, 24 Oct 2012 – It may be that laws dealing with marijuana should be modified, but Amendment 64, if approved, will do great harm. It is a fact that marijuana possession and use are prohibited by federal law. Established federal law, according to Article VI of the U.S. Constitution, is the "supreme law of the land." So those who put Amendment 64 on the ballot and those who vote for it do so in total disregard of federal law and the Constitution. The proponents of Amendment 64 ignore federal law, so why not ignore any state law when it suits you? Since Amendment 64 is predicated on breaking the law, why should anyone respect its restrictions on the use, possession or distribution of marijuana?
