local and state laws are SUPPOSED to hold more sway than federal laws on a local level.feds will only be "trumping" state laws if they can land a federal charge on someone which is generally over 100 plants.
further, the advantage is that local law enforcement are legally bound to not put forth any energy in the pursuit of marijuana based infractions.that makes it that much safer for us.
the federal govt can blow dicks, cali should secede.thats WHY we have states and not one big nation state, it allows for variance in laws because of differences in regional standards. thats part of the whole basis of our country, state laws over federal laws, how do you think prop215 came about?
