(15,438 posts)with any absolution that the case had no merit. That's why the judge should've allowed the case to move forward. As it stands, Plaintiffs plan to appeal the ruling, so they must believe they have legal standing - or they're just trying to make a statement. We'll see.
You're right. The DEA - a Federal entity - can bust whatever, wherever in the 50 U.S. States where there's a violation of Federal law. 'Busting' MJ stores is not the issue. The issue is, if they get those owners of MJ stores into Federal court, it's over for their business because MJ is still illegal under Federal statute. This is why we need to make recreational MJ LEGAL via the U.S. Congress that covers all fifty States so we won't have this confusion anymore.
In closing, I'll reiterate: Federal law always supersedes State law, pursuant to Article VI of the U.S. Constitution.
