Appeals court upholds ban on gun sales to medical marijuana card holders

Most of the Pueblo West grow and retail marijuana facilities are guarded by armed security. They all deal in cash because the banks won't take their deposits. Most of the Pueblo West Metropolitan District large land sales have been to the marijuana industry. If I was Justice Department, I'd be looking closely at Pueblo West and Pueblo County. I bet a lot of illegal cash transactions are taking place. Would not be surprised if a huge amount is making it into political campaign coffers too. At least we got rid of Angela Giron.

Didn't realize that was a thing - though I'm not surprised. Thank you for the knowledge!

I'm familiar with civil forfeiture. Have you heard about Oklahoma's newest law?

That sounds more realistic, except it still doesn't mean carrying any amount of cash over a quarter is evidence of illegal transaction. Not as long as cash is still an accepted form of currency.

I had $2k in cash on me while trying to go through security at DIA a while back. I got pulled to the side and questioned about it pretty harshly. The TSA couldn't seem to understand the concept of travel money and seemed to think it was a crime. In the end they inspected each bill and let me go on my way.
