I think the problem is selectively enforcing federal laws isn't a good option. Even thought he supreme court struck down DOMA, they stated that until that happened the administration should have still defended it.
While I think they should change the federal marijuana laws, I do not relish the future prospect of an administration deciding not to enforce federal laws they don't like because of this precedent. Voter ID, Abortion, racial profiling, etc.
Admittedly, though, I'm not sure how the laws will get changed. The Right to Vote took a very long time, so the Right to Toke might take a bit longer than the next couple of years.
