>It will soon be the case where the majority of Americans live in states where recreational cannabis is legal (it was ~1 in 3 last year but NY, NJ and others will push it over). Yet you can't use a credit card to buy cannabis pretty much anywhere AFAIK.
There is not a single state where cannabis is legal, there are only states that have decided they won't enforce federal law.
- doublescoop 5y agoNo states enforce federal laws. The federal government does that. If there is no state law criminalizing cannabis use there it's legal in that state.
- throwaway0a5e 5y agoThe locals generally enforce and investigate and then the feds prosecute.
- School-Cotton 5y agoNo, the feds refusing to prosecute doesn’t make it legal. Federal crimes are crimes everywhere, even in states that don’t have the same crime on their statute books.

- cronix 5y ago> There is not a single state where cannabis is legal, there are only states that have decided they won't enforce federal law. The feds don't really enforce it either. Is there a state the feds have sanctioned over legalization? They even collect federal tax dollars on the businesses selling these "illegal" products. Unless a law is actually enforced, it's just words on paper.
