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!"

^ according to my history teacher who is an ex-new york district attourny. She knows her shit.

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.
Taiden Reviewed by Taiden on . federal vs state laws Here in Maine it's a 400-600 fine, non-criminal charge, for having less than 1.25 oz on you. However... there is the federal law, minimum manditory sentence plus $1000 first offence. If I get pulled over, does state law determine my 'fate' or does federal law? Rating: 5
