there is no problem with the judges ruling. something is illegal if it is not legal, simply enough. now the city od denver may not have a law against X, but the state or feds do, it is not legal. same if city and state dont and feds do. in fact, if any level of govt, that represents the place you reside (ie, NY state law doesnt effect NJ) has a law against X, inside that district, it is illegal.
its not legal to have medicinal pot. but it damm well should be.
its not an exact meshing. NYS could outlaw something the feds have not--the law applies only in NYS. the feds could outlaw something NYS has not--the law applies throughout the entire domain of the federal govt.
im not seeing the problem you raise....
