Our system works by majority rule by a vote of the people not by an elected body tabling and silencing the people.
If there is contention within the elected body the right way to deal with that contention is to let the people speak by vote on the subject.
In the case of legalization of marijuana the state decided based on federal dollars to just not do anything with the question.
that is not the role of the elected , and silencing the electorate by not posing the question to the people is tyrannical and Constitutionally bankrupt.
The State never left ownership of the people,stewards of our trust do not own what is rightfully the property of the people.

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
