TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - State laws legalizing marijuana do not make marijuana legal under federal law JO - Journal of global drug policy and practice A1 - Evans, David G. SP - 1 EP - 10 VL - 8 IS - 4 N2 - Over the last several years, a few states have passed legislation or have fost ered ballot initiatives to legalize the recreational use of marijuana. In addition, several states have by state law legalized the medical use of marijuana. Yet, at the same time, f ederal law continues to prohibit the recreational and medical use of this controlled substance. This has set up a conflict with federal law. If the federal government decides to enforce the federal law, what will the consequences be for those in the business of growing, marketing and distributing marijuana?
