Question Presented (AI Summary)

Under the Supremacy Clause, does Colorado's expressly state legal sales of cannabis violate the Controlled Substances Act?

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Under the Supremacy Clause, does Colorado’s expressly state legal sales of cannabis violate the Controlled Substances Act? 2. Did Congress, under 26 U.S.C. §280E, empower the IRS and its civil auditors to investigate federal drug law crimes and administratively determine whether a taxpayer is criminally culpable under federal drug laws? 3. Given that the IRS summonses were compelling incriminating information of drug crimes, with the IRS reserving all rights to share the information with law enforcement to prosecute the drug crimes, did the IRS need to obtain a warrant? ii PARTIES SEEKING REVIEW 1.
