We have also followed United States Supreme Court precedent on federal questions in diverse areas such as Indian law and application of the Commerce Clause. However, the United States Supreme Court has never addressed preemption of state marijuana laws under federal statutes such as the CSA.” Tay argued this uncertainty concerning federal preemption of state marijuana regulations should compel this court to declare SQ 807 unconstitutional. The opposite is true. The burden is on a protestant to demonstrate a proposed initiative is clearly and manifestly unconstitutional on its face. This court acknowledges the lack of controlling federal precedent has created uncertainty concerning the interplay between state regulatory schemes permitting marijuana use and existing federal law. The five justices deciding SQ 807 said the court decided a similar issue with SQ 788, which legalized medical marijuana. “The people of Oklahoma have spoken once on this interplay between state regulations and existing federal law in the approval and implementation of SQ 788, Oklahoma’s legalization of medical marijuana. We have confronted that uncertainty, and considered the question in depth by examining the parameters of SQ 807, the language of federal statutes such as the CSA, and principles of preemption under the Supremacy Clause. Based on the above analysis, Petitioner has failed to meet his burden of demonstrating that SQ 807 is clearly or manifestly unconstitutional. We hold therefore that State Question No. 807, is legally sufficient for submission to the people of Oklahoma.” Justices dissenting didn’t agree. Justices Kane and Darby said, “Any suggestion this court should find SQ 807 is not preempted because the federal government is aware of the widespread state legalization of medical and/or recreational marijuana but has declined to enforce the CSA is irrelevant. Congress creates federal laws. The executive branch is responsible for enforcing those laws. This branch is charged with interpreting the laws in a way which gives effect to the intent of Congress. Congressional intent is clear: the production, sale and use of marijuana for any purpose is prohibited, and any state law which permits such acts is preempted.” He continued, “Despite a shift in public opinion and many states legalizing medical and/or recreational marijuana, Congress has continued to classify marijuana as a Schedule I drug and prohibit all production, sale and use of it. In Emerald Steel Fabricators, Inc. v. Bureau of Labor and Industries, 230 P.3d 518, 533 (Or. 2010), the Supreme Court of Oregon aptly noted “whatever the wisdom of Congress’s policy choice to categorize marijuana as a Schedule I drug, the Supremacy Clause requires that we respect that choice when, as in this case, state law stands as an obstacle to the accomplishment of the full purposes of the federal law.” Justice Rowe said, “¶7 SQ 807’s proposed constitutional amendments clearly present a substantial obstacle to Congress’s objectives expressed in the CSA to control the production, sale and use of controlled substances. Therefore, SQ 807 is preempted by federal law.” PAGE 14A - WEATHERFORD DAILY NEWS, WEEKENDER, JUNE 27, 2020 WEATHERFORD DAILY NEWS, WEEKENDER, JUNE 27, 2020 - PAGE 1B Religion Higher Ground: A prodigal comes home Billy and Ruth Graham’s middle school, and now I was tired and I was desperate when I called her. “Welcome home.” daughter, also named Ruth, shares anxious.
