Reply to comment by gregra193 in It’s Complicated: The conflicting laws around guns and weed by CTInsideInvestigator

well if state laws mean nothing to feds… then we have a bigger problem than marijuana. We have a federal government that is violating our constitutional rights. And if the feds don’t law why should we?

The DOJ has enforcement priorities. They have bigger fish to fry than the 40+ states and territories that have legalized medical or recreational.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Arguably DOJ is protecting states rights by not interfering with what states have chosen to do.

They do not have bigger fish to fry lol. They are a political organization. The head of doj is a political appointment that sets the direction. If we elected a hardcore antidrug prez that installed a doj head that was also, you can bet your ass they would be suing and arresting state officials en masse.
