You have to break its spirit by getting it to say it has 5 lights when it is clearly a 4-light lamp.

This guerilla marketing stuff has really gotten out of hand.

I dunno. I think leases of real property are almost always governed by the laws of the state where the property is located, not whatever other state the parties happen to reside in.

Is someone suggesting that state law on leases would be preempted, rather than that the federal court simply wouldn't be the venue to deal with state contract law matters, and that this contract can't be adjudicated under federal contract law because it's an illegal contract under federal law?

Not so sure about this making it harder for dispensaries. If the federal court holds that it cannot enforce the contract because the contract is illegal under federal law, that should actually protect dispensaries from landlords trying to bring them into federal court over lease disputes that should be handled in state courts where the dispensary can be treated as a legal business instead of a criminal enterprise with no legal right to exist.
