A Legal Schrodinger's Cat

Yes, the states of Washington and Colorado have done the seemingly impossible.  Like Schrodinger's Cat that is both alive AND dead until you look in the box to make it become one or the other, the state's marijuana laws that legalize pot possession run afoul of the federal laws that still make it illegal. 

So possessing pot in Washington and Colorado is both legal AND illegal.  And like the Cat, you won't know know if marijuana is legal or not until you smoke it and get busted, or not.
