B) marijuana legalization.
Cannabis remains illegal under the federal Controlled Substances Act, but many states have passed laws legalizing and regulating its use. This works in practice because of federalism and limited federal enforcement (prosecutorial discretion and policy guidance), even though the Supremacy Clause means federal law technically still overrides state law.
