15. Actually Its already a federal Crime to posses Marijuana

Which is why The US Government often raided places that sold pot, be it for medical use or not, until Obama asked them to stop harassing states where it was passed legally. We know, Trump wants to UN DO everything Obama ever did. Trump may send in Drug Enforcement Agency Agents to make arrests of store owners and distributors. That will cost the Federal Government much money to do so. All of those employees to pay, leg work and paper work. It would be best if they just allowed the States to deal with it as they see fit. If the law passed in a State they should let it be, however, we know how Republicans love to be assholes.

If the do decide to enforce the law, the drugs will go underground again, and their War on Drugs will fail.
