Yeah, but what happens when you take your California approved Oxycotin to Texas and they say it is an illegal opiate and that your 30 day is sufficient to charge you with trafficking? Hope you are ready to hear your burly Mexican cell mate singing "Up in the west Texas jail of El Paso, I met a pretty young American boy" as you fall asleep crying each night.

I just found out that when I pay $20 for my hunting license this year the Fed is going to give ODNR $60. That is the problem. ODNR, a long with every other state department/bureau/whatever is entirely owned by the federal government. It might as well be national government, at least then some of the overlap and blame games would be eliminated.
