Isn't this already the case with marijuana? Legal in one state, if you travel with it to another state, but make a stop in an illegal state, you can go to jail?

I don't know much about laws on that topic, but it seems to be a similar case to me.
- OrangeMonkey 4y agoI think its better stated as: * If you buy something legal in one state * and you then travel to another state (where its illegal) with that item * then you have broken the law and can go to jail. Its not the doing something in state-a and then traveling to state-b. Its the traveling to state-b with something illegal in state-b. Does that make more sense?
- salawat 4y agoCrossing state lines with marijuana elevates your offense to the Federal level, regardless of the legality situation in the source and destination states. Federally, marijuana transport across state lines is still trafficking in illegal narcotics. That the States don't help enforce it doesn't change a thing. Not a lawyer, just read books, mind.
