(b) Data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation Uniform Crime Reports and the Compendium of Federal
Justice Statistics show that approximately 99 out of every 100 marihuana arrests in the United States are made
under state law, rather than under federal law. Consequently, changing state law will have the practical effect
of protecting from arrest the vast majority of seriously ill people who have a medical need to use marihuana.

circumstances, states are not required to enforce federal law or prosecute people for engaging in activities
prohibited by federal law.
