Do the State laws in Colorado and Washington making Marijuana legal supersede the Federal law making it illegal?

Question

Do the State laws in Colorado and Washington making Marijuana legal supersede the Federal law making it illegal?



Answer

No. Federal laws always trump conflicting state laws. That doesn't mean the federal government will enforce its laws in routine marijuana cases. But it has as much right and authority to do so now as it did before the state laws in Colorado and Washington were passed.



Answer

No.
