[QUOTE="jibbs, post: 2057531"] It's technically a crime that you technically could be arrested for by federal LEO. On the other hand, there's been a [URL='http://www.scribd.com/doc/285976410/MAMM-vs-USDOJ-Charles-R-Breyer-ruling-to-lift-injunction']court order[/URL] (MAMM v. USDOJ) telling the Department of Justice to leave legalized and medicinal states alone. Completely. (More recent source than Supreme Court paper: [URL]http://www.drugpolicy.org/news/2015/10/federal-ruling-protects-medical-marijuana-dispensaries-follow-state-law[/URL]) So if the federal government were to prosecute legal users in legal states, they'll be violating a federal court order (at least as it stands at the moment.) [U][I][B]Long story short, yeah, it's still federally illegal.[/B][/I][/U] Short story long, nah, you're not having the DEA kick your doors down because you smoke weed occasionally. You'd at the very least have to jump up to manufacturing (growing) or trafficking for any kind of federal interest in a legal or medicinal state, in my opinion, and even then, according to the court order, there has to be a direct violation of [B]state[/B] law for the fed's to get involved. It's a really murky situation, to be honest, having individual states passing legislation directly conflicting with federal legislation, and then to have a federal court tell the (federal) Department of Justice that they can only get involved in these particular states if a [B]state[/B] law is broken regarding medicinal or recreational marijuana.
