It is a very precarious situation which I think extends beyond the marijuana industry, even in the US. What you said about China reminded me of the book Three Felonies A Day, which explains how modern federal crime laws put US citizens in a similar position of being extorted at the whims of the state.
It seems like there could be an opportunity for some kind of mutual aid arrangement -- an insurance policy of sorts -- that could underwrite the legal fees for a member who happens to get busted.

If the Feds are not enforcing a law, what's the point of the law? Similar to how trademarks can be voided if they are not consistently defended. Edit: written before I saw vidarth's comment.
