On the flip side, the federal government is still prosecuting people for distributing cannabis, albeit at a decreasing rate: https://www.marijuanamoment.net/federal-marijuana-arrests-co...

If the federal government isn't arresting folks in legal states, how can they have justify arresting others? We're close to half the US legalizing cannabis, when will the federal ban end?

They are, though, and enough that there are circuit court cases as recently as last year addressing the limitation of the funding prohibition Congress has established since 2015 on federal interference with state-legal medical marijuana programs.
