ADV 1 Federalism

Conflicts between federal and state marijuana laws are inevitable in the status quo

and undermine the entirety of the federalism system. Marijuana the most important

fight in a generation.

Regulation" http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2411707~~

The struggle over marijuana regulation is one of the most important federalism conflicts

in a

AND

CSA while in those states content with the CSA’s terms nothing would change.

Status quo marijuana policy causes legal gray zones that are unique threats to

federalism – spills over to destroy the broader federalist system.

Despite the Ogden Memo, the federal Department of Justice is now focusing efforts on

the next, changes in federal law enforcement initiatives disrupt states’ regulatory
