No states enforce federal laws. The federal government does that. If there is no state law criminalizing cannabis use there it's legal in that state.

No, the feds refusing to prosecute doesn’t make it legal. Federal crimes are crimes everywhere, even in states that don’t have the same crime on their statute books.

The locals generally enforce and investigate and then the feds prosecute.
