The constitution grants states the ability to govern themselves almost completely. The only time the federal government can directly intervene is either by request of the state government or if there is a crime committed that crosses state lines (and thus covers multiple jurisdictions).

So, even if there is a federal law against something (like medical marijuana), the state can essentially veto it.
