I think there's a good case for secession being a matter of right under the original constitution but not nullification. Either you are in the Union or not - can't pick and choose which federal laws to follow.

Doesn't a lot of states do this already with marijuana.


States are never required to enforce federal law. Nullification is affirmatively taking action to prevent federal enforcement of federal law - for example, SC tried to stop federal customs officials from collecting tariffs at SC ports.

Legalizing something expressly illegal at the federal level would seem to be nullifying the law.
