ELI5: If Colorado is able to legalize marijuana in direct conflict with federal law, what's to stop Mississippi from outlawing abortion?

I'm pro-legalization, but the legal precedent put forth by states being "allowed" to violate federal law in such an explicit way is a pretty wild one.  Are there any legal differences between those two situations?

It's not violating federal law. The fact that Colorado has legalized pot does not mean that DEA agents cannot enforce federal law in Colorado. Rather, it simply means that Colorado police will not arrest them for pot-related crimes; DEA agents, however, are welcome to enter Colorado and arrest people for pot-related crimes against federal law.

If Mississippi tried to ban abortion, the superiority clause would take effect, which means that federal law would trump state laws, and Mississippi would not be allowed to ban abortions.
