How come states cant fully embrace statehood

The marijuana legalization of those 3 or 4 states is actually an interesting case study.
Technically Federal DEA could raid any marijuana shop any time they wanted even in those states.
The state law clashes with Federal law and Federal trumps.
It's only due to "prioritization of enforcement" that they kind of look the other way. Your favorite president Obama certainly has expanded the executive power by outlying priorities of enforcement agencies.
But history will probably look back on him favorably, as DOMA and state pot laws and things like that were technically bad/unjust laws. So there is a technical difference between changing a law vs. not enforcing1 vs. prioritizing the lists of what to enforce first.
Actually GWBushie gave a good exmple to Obama on how to expand executive power. And it's a troubling precedent.
Part of it though is Congress' fault for not doing a single thing basically. Like not even TALKING OR DEBATING on going to war. Let alone vote on it. It is very very explicit in the Constitution that's they're job. So what's a prez supposed to do in that case? They do 30 day hostility thingies and we end up with Vietnam lol. Congress won't talk about war because it's politically toxic and they want to get re-elected.
The House terms are 2 year terms and most of that time is a re-election campaign. lol
Then you've got the Courts and both parties try to blatantly stack them to make ideological rulings rather than interpret the text and the law.
To say nothing of special interest money and all sorts of influential money in the system as Destroyer alluded to.
Fed printing money and getting their hands in waaaaayy too much central banking& housing.

Basically it's a shitstorm Randy. And things are gonna get a lot worse before they get better.
But at least we can afford a nice meal and a good bonk from a wh0re. People in some other countries are worried about their next meal and if their house might get shelled or their child kidnapped for ransom.
