If California legalizes Marijuana growing, and sales will the Federal Government have the resources to arrest?
people who choose to make a living by following this new law into the promised land?
Seriously I don’t see how the Federal Government could afford to prosecute people who grow Marijuana legally under California Law.

One of the first things President Obama did when he took office was to stop feds from arresting who used Marijuana in accordance with state laws.
The feds have already indicated that they intend to allow states to set their own marijuana policy, at least under Obama.
What will happen is conservatives will suddenly forget about states rights and use marijuana as an excuse to continue to run up the deficits we had in the bush years.
Its another states rights question. I don’t think the Federal Government has any right to interfere with California’s business.
This is where states rights would come in, the federal government shouldn’t have jurisdiction over states laws as long as they don’t violate the constitution.
America would be an interesting place if states rights were implemented, if you like gay marriage move to New York, if you like weed move to California…..
The Supreme Court has ruled that the federal government still could legally arrest and prosecute growers (Gonzalez v. Raich). Whether they choose to do so, or have the money/staff to do so, is a different matter.
They won’t.
