It sounds like an attempt to shift the marijuana law into a blue law in mmj states. Almost. Federal pot laws still apply if a state law is broken. At least that's what it sounds like .. Hard to tell exactly what reality is until the DOJ states exactly what the new US policy is. Which is what the judge asked for. IOW is he about to pass sentence on someone for violating a blue law? The DOJ answer was a twist. Kinda like "don't worry about it. he broke state law anyway." Odd because some local law enforcement folks had called the feds in to bust CL to begin with. They did that because they couldn't get a good bust on him under CA law. Yet the DOJ convicted him of breaking state law without any state trial at all. In fact no CA law was allowed to be introduced into his federal case as evidence. Complete lack of due process.
