Enforcement of federal is a key component to this though. Recreational cannabis, for example, is against federal law. The feds challenged this in the Supreme Court nearly two decades ago, and the SC ruled in favor of the federal government. However, SC also basically said, “But, it’s your job to go to Cali and enforce your federal laws.”

Of course, such enforcement never came.

The hope, at least, is that VT and any following states would win out in this same manner.
