All three measures would legalize possession of small quantities of the drug for anyone above age 21 and allow taxable retail sales, going well beyond laws in 17 states that permit marijuana use for medical purposes. The proposed state laws are in direct conflict with federal law, which continues to outlaw marijuana, even though possession of small quantities is rarely prosecuted on a federal level.”
