Prohibition was a countrywide re-legalization of alcohol by constitutional amendment. A few states legalizing MJ does not a prohibition make. What is created with only a few states relaxing some control, are nefarious groups who will seek to fill the demand of those users residing states which have not or will not relax code & statute.

Will the Fed step up or not in the foreseeable future?

I look for the criminal element to be outcompeted by legitimate businessmen, just as happened when Prohibition was ended.

Opposite - what you just described is the END of Prohibition, which was also begun with an amendment unlike federal pot prohibition.

News flash: such groups existed before any state had legalized.

"Step up" to do what exactly? Continue to exceed their Constitutional authority by meddling in intrastate commerce in pot?
