Yeah, that was poor example on my part. My concern is the the ambiguity.

It’s not a favorable situation to have multiple levels of govt out of step concerning laws. It can lead persons to unwittingly committing federal crimes.

Right. That is what I think most folks who support legalization are concerned about.

Its the somewhat hidebound nature of our political system that rewards seniority that is the problem. A majority of Republicans support making Marijuana legal but our elected officials are old enough they believe that "Reefer Madness" actually downplayed the dangers of Lucifer's Lawn Clippings.

This isn't a knock on Republicans mind you, Democrats have the same problem on other issues. You can see it with rank and file Democrats desperate to find a way to ease increasingly out of touch Nancy Pelosi out the door.

We will just have to wait them out. In ten years I would be surprised if its not legal across the United States.

Now this i can agree with. In all honesty, if you've fricked up enough to have amounts/thresholds that reach federal levels, you normally would prefer the feds pick it up. States rake you over the coals in time vs the feds.

Unwittingly is possibly a stretch. Nobody in the legal marijuana game is under the impression they are entirely safe from the feds, or at least they shouldn't be. Hell sessions sent out a memo to federal prosecutors encouraging more to file for the death sentence in cases where there are at least 60k plants. Now we have feds refusing gun sales to legal users, states revoking concealed carry licenses. Nobody stops you from buying a gun with a oxycodone prescription or desoxyn... which is pharmaceutical grade methamphetamine hcl. They keep you well informed of your lesser social status, even bolded it in the 4473 gun purchase form, question 11e.
