That said, these kinds of uncertain and confusing situations are exactly why we need to really rollback federal marijuana law.

If what you said previously was true then #2 would not be reality as it is in dozens of states now. The States have power against the Federal Government, it is not omnipotent and the States are not mere subjects or colonies.

Imagine a medical marijuana greenhouse in, say, California.  A state inspector has shown up with a gun, and he is there to make sure they are paying the proper amount of taxes and/or make sure that they're not mixing stuff into the marijuana that's not supposed to be there.  Everything is proceeding by the letter of state law.
Then the feds show up, as federal law says they should, and they also have guns.  The feds tell everyone that they are all being taken in for questioning and that the marijuana is all going to be confiscated and destroyed. 
What happens next?  Does the state law enforcement agent pull his gun and tell the feds that this is his site?  Or does he follow all of the orders and directions of the federal agents?
