Now, I am not 100% sure but from doing a bit of reading and what I already knew, the state’s can restrict a drug further but not lessen it. Kind of like states have the power to make a substance illegal, and we are seeing a lot of this right now with all the synthetic marijuanas and things like that. The reverse isn’t true but as long as the federal govt let’s the states get away with it then it stands unless its challenged. Medical marijuana is an example of that. The federal govt says its illegal with no medicinal benefits but states have passed their own laws making it legal for medicinal purposes. Technically the states can not do that because a state can not trump a federal law. Until the federal govt challenges the state the law can be upheld in that state. That’s just the way I understand it but like I said I am not 100% sure.
