Every industry is federally regulated.
- btilly 1y agoOnly in the sense that there are federal regulations that apply to all industries. But, for an extreme example, there is absolutely no federal regulation of marijuana dispensaries. Whose existence is entirely enabled by state laws, and federal reluctance to enforce federal law in a case where both state law and public opinion are against it.
- ls612 1y agoNot just reluctance, there has been an annual spending rider since 2015 that says no money can be spent prosecuting people for marijuana crimes federally if they are in compliance with their state’s marijuana laws.
