The Feds influence and lobby congress.
Federal versus state law is something that needs to be worked on. If it's legal in your state, the Feds shouldn't be able to prosecute you for a legal act. This is where our laws need updating. It's an interesting dichotomy that I never really gave thought to but now I'll go to sleep and be up half the night thinking about it!
