Local and State cops don't enforce federal laws, do they?

Yes. Yes they do.

Yes. Yes they do.

The US attorneys dont even prosecute pot cases for anything less than 500lbs. They hand it to the respective state and tell them 'do you want it?' So yes, technically local cops can enforce federal law, but for the case of pot it has little consequence.

That may change going forward under Jeff 'pot is worse than heroin' Sessions.

The thing is, I'm fine with pot being legalized:




That said, while it is illegal it should be treated as such. We are a nation of laws, and if we ignore them we are a banana republic.
