Basically what I’m asking is, does the federal government really have the power to enforce it’s drug control policies if they’re limited to just one state. Say a marijuana retailer is only selling marijuana in California, or a marijuana grower is growing in California and distributing in California only. Does the federal government still have the power to file charges in these scenerios?
IMHO, i don’t think they should be able to.
The supreme court said the federal government could several years ago http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/06/06/scotus.medical.marijuana/index.html

Yes, prop 19 is a state law, federal always trumps states.
