  To clarify Congressional intent regarding the relationship between 
         State and Federal law governing controlled substances.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled, That it is hereby 
expressly declared that it is the intent of the Congress to supersede 
any and all laws of the States and units of local government insofar as 
they may now or hereafter effectively permit or purport to authorize 
the use, growing, manufacture, distribution, or importation by an 
individual or group of marijuana or any controlled substance which 
differs from the provisions of the Controlled Substances Act and the 
Controlled Substances Import and Export Act or regulations issued 
pursuant thereto. Any law, regulation, or ordinance purporting to 
establish such different requirement, prohibition, or standard shall be 
null and void.
                                 <all>
