State’s rights are state’s rights.

As far as I’m concerned they could stand a foot inside their border and blow smoke. And get 15 years in pound you in the a** state prison if they stumble in the wrong direction.

there will always be this problem, be it with guns, cannabis, or fireworks. The solution is almost always less federal government and more state’s rights. If it’s a criminal conspiracy then that is a legitimate target for the FBI. But there is seldom a situation that the fedgov can’t nake worse, don’t you agree?

Oh, I agree that the fed almost always screws things up. Interstate issues are often a little convoluted, though. Not as easy as you depict.

Consider the prospect of a state being completely surrounded by pot-legalizing states. Many people live along the borders. If you work in Kansas, and live in Colorado, you might go shopping at a pot dispensary and then leave your "package" in the car while you drive to work in Kansas. I can see where someone would bring up "constitutionality" arguments as to why they were arrested for merely possessing something that they could legally possess at their home.
