> [@needscoffee](#): > > I don’t see how this can be legal. Can they make it illegal to leave the state to smoke pot in a state where it’s legal? I think the broad answer is “we don’t know yet.” **Tired\_and\_Cranky** had a great post in the recent thread about this same topic: > [@Whats the legality of prosecuting someone for doing something that is illegal in their home state, but legal in another state](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-the-legality-of-prosecuting-someone-for-doing-something-that-is-illegal-in-their-home-state-but-legal-in-another-state/963357/229): > > But the question has moved to the thornier issue of whether a state could prohibit conspiracy within a state to procure an abortion that is legal in another state. I have no doubt the Supreme Court of 1975 would have said that interfered with a person’s fundamental right to travel to another state and to benefit while in that state from the privileges and immunities granted to that states’ citizens. Today’s court? Fat chance. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/enforcing-leaving-the-state-for-an-abortion-other-post-roe-abortion-questions/964068)._
