Federal law still classifies pot as a Schedule I controlled substance according to the Controlled Substances Act. But most Feds (including the White House) say they won't try to override states' laws on this.

However, the state cops at least refused to go into the woods where there were heavily armed people who value freedom over everything else and so I think in the Alaska hills it is defacto legal.
