Can't happen without a method for county taxation which would require an amendment to the state constitution. 169 mayors/first selectmen would no longer be the big fish in little ponds. They'll fight it tooth and nail. 8 superintendents of schools? You think all but the 8 want to lose their jobs? County sheriffs instead of local police chief's?

It may be a great idea. It may not be. But you can be sure of one thing. It'll never happen. Too many people have too much to lose.

The DOJ has enforcement priorities. They have bigger fish to fry than the 40+ states and territories that have legalized medical or recreational.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Arguably DOJ is protecting states rights by not interfering with what states have chosen to do.

The owners of the property aren't anti-weed, they are anti-smoking. Like it or not, there is a difference. Smoking in the car is a stretch, but they're well within their right to not want smoke damage in their units.

You could fill your jars with edibles, your medicine cabinet with suppositories, and put tinctures in your bedside table and it wouldn't be a problem at all.
