I'm still trying to work out though what happens when something is legal according to State law, but illegal according to Federal law. If I'm not mistaken, like Colorado... they legalised pot but I don't think it's legal Nationwide, so what is the point of federal law if States can tell it to f off? US law needs to be simplified, but then again, I don't plan to be a lawyer in the US so it's not essential to me.
All you need to know is that the US likes to create what they call "checks and balances" between governing bodies (judicial, executive, congressional, or state vs federal, etc), ostensibly to keep one body from having more power than the other, but really only to justify not getting shit all done.
