What IS the State vs. Fed law with legalized recreational pot in our state

in 2018? I just saw a local KPBS News hour ad that said that less than an ounce can still be illegal under Fed law and border crossings are a prime place for arrests to happen.

States may have additional laws (or no laws) concerning pot.

I go to a real M.D. that practices locally.

Said M.D will go to court for me if need be.

I can have as much as I care to have and I have a caregiver that is protected under prop. 215.

I plan to change none of my doings.

I hope everyone will keep it together as the new law goes into effect.

I know some dispensaries are temporarily closed while they make some "adjustments" = price hikes/more taxes.
