Possession of an ounce will be against Federal law which stands up most recently at the top courts.

Waste of time.

I guess it depends on where you are if you are going to get prosecuted by the Feds for pot. If let's say, you are in California and you are running a pot clinic, they're going to come after you. On the other hand, if you are an illegal alien smuggling less that 500 pounds into Arizona, the U.S. Attorney's office won't prosecute. It will leave that up to the Arizona authorities. The U.S. Attorney's office in Arizona says they simply don't have the resources to prosecute these cases. However, I guess the U.S. Attorney's office in California is brimming with funds to prosecute petty crimes.

Maybe so, but if you're in Kentucky anything up to EIGHT OUNCES only nets you a max of 90 days and $100 by state law.

True, but if the local and state police will not enforce it the feds will not know one has it. The only power government has is to make criminals of it's people.

The fed 'law' can be changed, and will be, -- if States ignore it as an unconstitutional infringement of due process. -- Congress has no delegated power to prohibit.
