It's the exact same situation as with the U.S. states in early days (before the Obama administration decided to officially endorse non-enforcement of the federal law in jurisdictions that had legalized). I guess we'll see how it plays out on the ground.

It's just sad that they won't admit they were wrong and just move past it.
