Pot is still illegal at the federal level. Though the Obama-era DOJ deprioritized enforcement. Jeff Sessions just rescinded this policy. So I'd expect to see some new cases dealing with pot end up in federal court.
- bluetwo 9y agoYep. I expect this will happen quickly. Some people are going to wake up at the end of a gun and find out they are the lowest hanging fruit.

- int_19h 9y agoThis is still the case as of today - this protection has been extended to January, 18 when this last came up for vote. It'll likely get extended again. So if they start targeting places, it'll be recreational pot stores and farms that sell to them, not medical dispensaries.
