Since we have a Supremacy Clause, Article 6 of the US Constitution if I am not mistaken, technically someone could smoke pot and be fine around local police in CO but could still be arrested by Federal agents since the federal ruling that Marijuana is illegal reigns supreme over a state ruling.
The way I understand it yes this is true. What I don't get and what I'm sure one of the lawyer types on here can educate us on is how can Colorado collect taxes on something that is illegal federally? Isn't there something out there about having gains on illegal activity? I don't think RICO applies because that's interstate related but I'm not sure.

Thanks for the link. As you can tell I'm very interested in this topic and it's sad to say that I only had a cursory interest in the past since I thought it would never pass.

Thanks for the Rocky Mountain High made me laugh
Also I think the mods should move this to news or off topic area not really an AFA specific issue to me.
