There is something in federal law pertaining to pot - it prohibits pot smoking for recreational use. And it prohibits most people from growing, possessing, and selling pot.

But nothing in the Constitution, which means your analogy was ridiculous.

And correct me if I'm wrong but states are not preventing the federal authorities from enforcing federal law?

But California decided to defy federal law with its “legalization” of recreational pot.

It is not California's job to enforce federal law; that's the job of the U.S. government. All California, and other states, has done is to repeal similar state laws outlawing pot. It's within their power to do so.

As I have said before, progressives will ignore plain federal or state law when it is in their interest and usually they pay no penalty.

Yes you have said so, time and again. Still doesn't make it factual.

I have said: “But California decided to defy federal law with its “legalization” of recreational pot.”

But you disagree with me don’t you?

You will probably be surprised that others - including those that promote illegal drug use - agree with me.
