I believe that the legal conflict betwees states and the Feds creates a problem with legalizing Marijuana. May be legal in some states but the Feds still consider MJ a Schedule I controlled substance.

Makes no sense at all given that weed is illegal in Texas. Besides, plenty of people already have and still are moving here due to the growing state economy. My neighborhood has be Californicated.
Also, pretty sure guns and ammo are readily available in the land of pleasant living.

Yes, but not enough Reich-wing conservatives around to piss off by making guns & weed legally available to everyone, even minorities.

If Congress passes, but so far they have not. The link I posted is current fwiw.

I stopped reading CSRS reports when I retired. In addition, there is no essentially little to no everyday real world conflict between federal weed laws and state weed laws. Federal law enforcement is basically not enforcing the laws in states where weed is legal. In Texas where weed is still illegal the state laws now don't apply on personal stashes below 1/4 lid. Essentially decriminalization which is covered in your CSRS report.
FWIW I just skimmed the report and it appears to be an informational report to give Congress a heads up on things to consider when drafting the proposed legislation. CSRS and GAO are sister agencies and I've sat in on too many briefing meetings where CSRS was basically providing background information.

Recreational weed will be legal in Maryland on July 1, though it already is in DC and VA (though they don't have legal brick and mortar stores as Maryland will). DC has a clever workaround that makes weed essentially as legal as it is in CA or CO.
