In response to "From last night: Can a state government be exempt from a federal law? Specifically, manufacturing and distribution of a controlled substance." by Mop

IIRC, The Constitution gives all powers to the states that the federal government doesn't cover.

But if there's a federal law, it supercedes state law.

I think discussion came up when states (eg, California) wanted to impose standards that were *tougher* than federal law.
