How are states allowed to set their own medical marijuana laws with the reality of federal governments not letting local policemen to go after medical marijuana users?
The answer is contained within the question. "Local" Policemen are constrained by the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which they work, and which employes them, and by the provisions of their own state constitution. While "local" law enforcement canenforce federal law they are instructed by their local-government employers NOT to do so in this instance. The few states that legalize and allow "medical marijuana" are in more-or-less constant conflict with federal law enforcement and prosecutors. The laws and statutues that allow so-called "medical" marijuana may, or may not, in time either become the law of the land, or they may be repealed. The jury is still out.

Possession of marijuana is a federal crime. It is therefore against the law in the entire US. California and a few other states have introduced medical marijuana or have decriminalized possession of small amounts of marijuana, but since federal law trumps state law, it is still a crime everywhere. However, the federal government limits enforcement of drug crimes to only the large distributors. It is unlikely that a person possessing less than an ounce of MJ will be charged federally, so in a state that allows or does not enforce it, people can easily get away with it.
