posted this on politics, thought it might be of interest to some of you here.

Obama just signed a bill making medical marijuana legal in Washington D.C. this means that anywhere there is a postal zip code you can have medical marijuana with a doctors recomendation, because D.C. has jurisdiction over its possessions and territories, and zip codes denote federal territories, and it mean that a recommendation from any state is legal in every zip code!

Stan, could you explain this differently? I don't follow your explanation nor reasoning. Thanks.

That's what I call good hemp, Stan. ( Referring to your thinking, not the pic ).

It is this writer's opinion, both as a result of study, e.g.
of page 11 of the National Area ZIP Code Directory; of 26 USC
7621; of Section 4 of the Federal Register, Volume 51, Number
53, of Wednesday, March 19, 1986, Notices at pages 9571 through
9573; of Treasury Delegation Order (TDO) 150-01; of the opinion
in United States v. LaSalle National Bank, 437 U.S. 298, 308, 98
S.Ct.2d 2357, 57 L.Ed.2d 221 (1978); of 12 USC 222; of 31 USC
103; and as a result of my actual experience, that a ZIP Code
address is presumed to create a "Federal jurisdiction" or "market
venue" or "revenue districts" that override State boundaries,
taking one who uses such modes of address outside of a State
venue and its constitutional protections and into an
international, commercial venue involving admiralty concerns of
the "United States", which is a commercial corporation domiciled
in Washington, D.C.

More specifically, looking at the map on page 11 of the
National ZIP Code Directory, e.g. at a local post office, one
will see that the first digit of a ZIP Code defines an area that
includes more than one State. The first sentence of the
explanatory paragraph begins: "A ZIP Code is a numerical code
that identifies areas within the United States and its
territories for purposes of ..." [cf. 26 CFR 1.1-1(c)]. Note the
singular possessive pronoun "its", not "their", therefore
carrying the implication that it relates to the "United States"
as a corporation domiciled in the District of Columbia (in the
singular sense), not in the sense of being the 50 States of the
Union (in the plural sense). The map shows all the States of the
Union, but it also shows D.C., Puerto Rico and the Virgin
Islands, making the explanatory statement literally correct.

That ought to help out the declining revenues of the USPS. ;)

Good point, Jazfish. Yet another way that marijuana can help the economy.
