How would the federal government put a stop to something that the citizens of a state voted upon as being not only allowable, but beneficial for the health of it's people? Would the state have to erase those laws from the books, and refuse any voter initiated ballot measures on the subject in the future? It wasn't a group of legislators that put this through originally, but the people themselves gathering signatures placing it on the ballot and voting on it.
As long as card carrying patients don't abuse their medical rights, I don't think that the feds will touch them.
