This measure changes state law to legalize the possession, cultivation, and sale of marijuana. Despite these changes to state law, activities related to the use of marijuana would continue to be prohibited under federal law.
What is a Semicolon? In writing, a semicolon (;) is a type of punctuation used to combine full sentences and share complicated lists. Semicolons let us clearly share two or more related ideas in one sentence, which keeps us from writing a bunch of short, awkward sentences about the same topic or thing.
Don't overuse the semicolon; it can become overused and can wear on your reader. :) Use semicolons instead of periods to show a closer relationship between the sentences. Pick up a book and see how semicolons are used. The more you get used to reading sentences with semicolon, the easier it will be to read them.
