He can’t enforce them with state laws, because mj will be legal. Will he become an arm of the feds? Will the feds let Baca enforce fed drug laws, but won’t allow AZ to enforce fed immigrant laws?
It would be legal when? where? work? kids?
Its not even a well-thought out idea.
But Federal Law trumps State law doesnt it. So if the Feds say it is illeagl couldnt they prosecute you? Although I really do not see that happening unless of course you are a Republican or Tea Partier and are running for office :)
The Federal laws on sale and cultivation are pretty serious:

I suspect the last thing the Feds want is a test case where somebody is busted for “personal cultivation” in compliance with state law, since it could be the basis for overturning Gonzales v. Raich.
As for Baca, it’s possible he will just focus on the storefront operations. Seize the merchandise and lock up the owner for 48 hours. Doesn’t even matter whether the Feds file charges, because it’s impossible to do business in that environment.
This is essentially how the blue counties treat legal gun owners today, so it’s not much of a leap for them.
mj will be legal.Not FDA approved yes he can.
