Same reason you go to the polls and deliberately spoil your ballot. Dissatisfaction with the system, but acknowledgement of the civic duty of voting.

If you deliberately spoil your vote, you're not voting. So you're just wasting your own time. Good job though.

Which reminds me: depending on how Trump is feeling, those votes to legalize it on the state level might mean jack poo poo for as long as it's federally illegal.

If the state is really determined they can make it pretty hard to the federal police to conduct major actions. Doing raids and whatnot is great but handling logistics in a hostile/unhelpful environment would be hard.

If the states try that, the Feds can say to the local cops "No more surplus armored vehicles and automatic weapons for you." Plus not being able to do business with banks (because the source of your income is a violation of Federal law) puts a damper on things.

A Trump presidency will be good in some ways (TPP is already dead, we're not going to war with Russia, Trudeau has already expressed willingness to renegotiate NAFTA),but there's no way it's good for legal pot. Especially not if Rudy "Freedom is about respecting authority" Giuliani gets the AG nod.

The feds don't have jurisdiction unless it's an interstate issue or the locals call them in, actually, barring exceptions like California (where they gave the feds free reign).

No. Marijuana use/possession is a Federal crime under the CSA. They have no jurisdiction to enforce state laws but they sure as hell do to enforce a Federal law. If they wanted to they could be raiding every single dispensary in Colorado right now.

For some reason Prohibition needed a Constitutional amendment but the CSA didn't. Probably because they hadn't yet figured out they can justify literally anything under the commerce clause. Maybe now that a Republican is President again people will start worrying about the Feds overreaching their constitutionally-enumerated powers. And monkeys might fly out of my butt.

I thought the Republicans were all about limited federal government and states rights.

Even under the CSA, the DEA is still not entitled to sweep unilaterally into state or local affairs.

Blank votes only make sense (kinda) in a parliamentary democracy, if you figure a vote for democracy is as good as a vote for any of the running parties (because they will all get proportianal influence according to votes). It does not work in first past the post. I live in a parliamentary democracy and I prefer to vote more left than I really am, just to get some more leftists into the govt.

I'll give this thread a few days to get the politics out of everyone's system, but it will soon go back to no politics in PYF. There is a line though on what is schadenfreude and what isn't, so don't be a piece of poo poo.

You can't patent game rules themselves, but you can trademark the look & feel of the game, and copyright the flavortext & the actual text of the rules.

So basically anybody can come along and copy your snake rugby, just calling it Snek Rugby or something and it takes place in another part of the world and uses different snakes.
