Possessing, using, manufacturing, distributing, and/or selling/dispensing cannabis or cannabis-based products is illegal under federal law, regardless of any state law that may legalize or decriminalize such activity under certain circumstances. Although federal enforcement policy may at times defer to states’ laws and not enforce conflicting federal laws, you should be aware that compliance with state law in no way assures compliance with federal law, and there is a risk that conflicting federal laws may be enforced currently and in the future. No legal advice we give is intended to provide any guidance or assistance in violating federal law.
