Wait until you find out that in many states, you can walk into a business and buy a schedule I controlled substance, and the federal government has been ignoring it for over a decade!

Also you can go 60 in a 55.

Where is the executive order or written letter from the DOJ saying they have voided schedule I or speed limits?

Failure to enforce due to prioritization is not at all the same thing as the President saying a law no longer exists.

Yeah, there’s a huge difference between not enforcing federal laws and not enforcing federal laws.
Reductionism is so juvenile. Now do fake outrage that muggers go to jail for knifing someone while surgeons get paid: “eiteher it’s ok to cut someone with a knife or it’s not!”

Corrupt intent is the crime. We all know this. It’s embarrassing when someone rediscovers reductionism and pretends to believe it’s a magic argument.

Federal Government doesn't intervene because it effectively delegates the decision to the States.

In this case we have the Federal Government simply choosing to ignore the law, period.
