Clarence Thomas Questions Federal Marijuana Policies

“Clarence Thomas, one of the Supreme Court’s most conservative justices, said Monday that because of the hodgepodge of federal policies on marijuana, federal laws against its sale or cultivation may no longer make sense,” NBC News reports.

Wrote Thomas as the Supreme Court declined to hear a case related to a marijuana business: “The federal government’s current approach is a half-in, half-out regime that simultaneously tolerates and forbids local use of marijuana.”
