How can Colorado and Washington effectively sustain a marijuana industry if it's illegal on a federal level?

I'm talking enforcement on both production and consumption, I'm not really sure on how it's even possible considering it is technically unconstitutional, right?

That doesn't really matter much. If there are regulated stores, they will be raided by the DEA. But the DEA will not be around arresting people who are holding it or more importantly, people who are simply growing some in their own home. It will be impossible to repress casual use, as it is now, but with the difference that state and local police will not arrest upstanding citizens just because they smoke a plant.
