Good that should be the case with all narcotics. There is no legislative authority for the federal government to regulate narcotics. They had to pass amendments to regulate alcohol and tobacco.
There's still a big question about gun rights.  If someone has a medical marijuana card, do they lose the right to buy a gun?  The Feds says yes.
