Week 9 EOC: Wall Street Journal

Technically, pot remains illegal across the nation. that's the concern in the high court system. even though its pass in some states it still is an issue for all the other states that pot is illegal to posse and grow, but what is stopping the people that live in the states like Colorado to traffic the pot around. 
“Justice warns that it will intervene if it discovers that marijuana is flowing to children or being trafficked to states where it is still illegal, though under federal law it is still illegal in all states.”

If pot can truly make a city economy grow through the sale of pot in located stores and meet all the testing need to pass for it to be "safe at your own use" then eventually more states will follow the legal right to posse pot.
"Maybe we'll be the hub of Colorado where we have the testing labs and have a lot of white-collar, good professional jobs contributing to our economy, testing the product from all over the state to ensure the state law is followed," said McFadyen. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/08/25/reefer-sadness-cities-battle-legal-pot-push/#ixzz2e7ziuheA
Why should the law come down on recreational users if it state legal. They should be more concern on the supliers of other states that are not legal to even posse the plant let alone smoke it.
"It would not make sense for us to see a top priority as going after recreational users in states that have determined that it's legal," http://www.theguardian.com/society/2013/aug/29/obama-sue-colorado-washington-marijuana-law
