federal vs state laws
Actually. State law does control the legality of Marijuana. The only reason states have not made it legal, is because they lose a LOT of federal money. The feds are allowed to say "man, what a shame you legalized marijuana. man, what a shame this federal check for $45,000,000 has void written on it in red ink!"

If a state can gain more through taxes on marijuana than they will lose from the federal grants, I'm sure many states would have legalized use. Until then, Maine just decriminalizes it.
