Stick That In Your Pipe And Smoke It The Constitution of the United States is the set of rules that the nation abides by, and in the same way protects from any form of discriminatory harm to individuals or groups of individuals. These rules are often misinterpreted or manipulated to fit the needs of a person or a group so that they get what they want or are protected from what they do not want. Case in point would be the situation in California where Proposition 215, the legalization of marijuana for medical purposes, is up for discussion between state and federal courts. Both courts have heard the case and have come to separate conclusions. The state of California has the most powerful tool on their side that a state can use; that tool being the necessary and proper clause. The necessary and proper clause of Article I Section 8 states that Congress has the power …to make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution for the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.
