5. The amendment would be only federal office

And I prefer the lost opportunity for the occasional person who made an idiotic choice, over the alternative.

(yes I think growing weed in your basement when it's a state felony, would be an idiotic choice ... but I also think it shouldn't be a felony at all ... just that between the two options, I'd like to prevent felons from holding public office; and fix weed laws when and where we can. )
