To: Be Careful

Different way to ask the question: Can a State that allows for the selling of a product/user in their state, that is illegal in another state, be held liable for the miss use of that product in the other state.

Assume: State A allows for selling of alcohol to 18 year olds. State B requires 21 years old.

Case: a person legally buys in State A, then drinks and travels to State B and causes a loss.

Question: Does State A then have a liability for some of the loss?

I say generally no.

True.....but still, pot is specifically illegal at the Federal level...... the US Coast Guard spends a lot of time chasing pot smugglers, by Federal law.

The Feds should be going after Or/Wa/Co, according to Federal law.....but they are not.

Federal law will change on this to become like these states.

But, in the meantime, my original question still stands.
