The federal government has no business arresting people for what states declare to be legal, unless it’s something spelled out in the constitution.

So if a state declares that it's legal to have sex with infants and kill them afterwards the federal government has no recourse? Everyone else has to sit and watch it happen?

If that’s legal in your state you have more problems than pot and porn. Next!

You have a warped view of marijuana if you think this is equivalent. Despite that where constitutional law is concerned, generally yes states have been left to regulate crimes within their states themselves. Recently the Supreme Court has ruled that it is up to states to regulate firearm possession at schools. I'm quite sure if this actually happened, the federal government would use other means to make the state come around. The preferred method is withholding tax money for roads.
