considering state laws, the feds have no battle... smoke pot if u want would be an example
I do post PPA announcements as well
I totally agree, however the bill is written in a way to attempt to supersede state law (including retroactive, to attack NJ NV and DE). Just because med marijuana is legal here dont mean the feds wont harass you about it, we don't want that same environment happening in online pokerQuote:
