Like sanctuary cities, I guess states can now pick and choose which federal laws to obey. Can’t wait to see what Texas will decide to ignore.

You need to bone up on the Constitution. States that legalize pot are asserting their 10th Amendment powers and should be supported, even if you don’t like the policy.

OTOH, sanctuary cities and states are in violation of powers delegated by the Constitution to the United States, ie control of immigration and borders.

It's called Federalism. It's not that they are ignoring the law, it's that the federal law doesn't require them to do anything. The federal government can make its rules, the states can make theirs.
