What the attorney is saying is true. The Colorado laws trump the federal laws if whatever product is being argued about has not crossed sate lines. Thats the 10th Amendment. The feds keep on wanting to use the commerce clause of the constitution to fight these cases but its not legally relevant. The commerce clause is only for products that cross state lines.
We've already seen a couple states that have used this argument to allow there state residents to own silencers, fully automatic weapons and so far the feds have done nothing about it. Its obvious that the feds don't want to take on a state government directly because that will lead a case to finally being forced to go before the supreme court to make a definitive decision about what exactly the 10th amendment allows. They know they'll lose.

i know its crazy....they only use the commerce clause when they need to make laws relevant for them to keep the black market money coming in :-), but its crazy because we all know the people want to smoke, we have patients that need marijuana and it's a bs game that the corrupt people at the top keep playing. check out statistics.
