This situation fascinates me. CA has been ignoring federal law for a long time w.r.t medical marijuana. IIRC, during Bush, the feds actually did raid the medical marijuana dispensaries. (Glancing at https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Medical_cannabis_in_the_United_States https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Medical_canna... doesn't rule out that possibility but doesn't actually support it either.)
Civil rights and the drinking age are high-profile examples of the Feds forcing states into compliance, but I wonder how widespread the state/federal discrepancies are about smaller things.
