Show me the SCOTUS opinion saying the Second Amendment means there can be no restrictions. I realize thats your opinion, but show me legal authority. BTW, Heller makes it clear that the Second Amendment is not absolute. I dont like it but my opinion, like yours, means nothing.

It still violates federal law. Maybe it shouldn't, maybe the feds should stay or of state matters, but it's still illegal. The State of Colorado cannot give its citizens the right to violate federal law.

If we condone Colorado violating federal drug laws by legislative fiat, then what do we say when Colorado ignores the federal Firearms Owner Protection Act or the Lawful Commerce in Arms Act? Once again, we stare over the slippery slope.

Pro-gun groups can find better issues to bring before the public and/or legislature. "Guns and dope," now that's some poster child for expanding Second Amendment rights.
