S. Supreme Court announced that it wouldn't consider a lawsuit filed by two states challenging Colorado's pot law. But lawyers said Nebraska and Oklahoma officials could pursue other legal challenges. For now, the many states considering pot laws this year won't have immediate guidance from the nation's high court about whether they're free to f lout federal drug law by regulating the drug. Instead, Washington, D. C., and the 26 states that allow pot for medical or recreational purposes don't have any immediate roadblocks on their marijuana laws. Nebraska's attorney general said his state would consider trying again to challenge Colorado's pot law, just not directly to the nation's highest court. - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
