RE: Court Date Set For Groundbreaking Cannabis Lawsuit Against Jeff Sessions, DOJ, DEA, and Others

in #cannabis7 years ago

Now, this will be a very interesting case. Fun Fact: the Controlled Substances Act replaced the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937 after Tim Leary got it shot down by the Supreme Court in 1969.

Leary v. United States.

Interestingly, the Supreme Court agreed with Leary's Fifth-Amendment reasoning. Also interesting: it took no less than thirty-two years before the Tax Act was shot down.

Sort:  

What was the Mariguana Tax Act of 1937, and why was it replaced by the Controlled Substances Act ? Which took away more of American's freedom?
