  While still federally illegal, they have not done these raids regularly for years. In 2015 a judge ordered the federal government to stop going after medical places in legal states [1]. If I recall correctly the Obama Admin ordered the DEA to stop busting shops in recreational legal states too. I am unsure if the GOP's recent tenure in the Whitehouse reversed these common sense ideas.

    Jeff Sessions, Trump's first AG, issued this memo purporting to reverse thr policy https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-issues-memo-marijuana-enforcement https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-issues-mem... However, federal law since 2014 has prohibited expenditures of federal funds to interfere with state medical cannabis laws, which limits what the executive can do (on its face, it only applies to state medical-use laws, though, so in principal federal enforcement against state-legal not-purely-medical marijuana might be viable.)
