DEA hit 5 grow operations in Denver yesterday

I think it would be wise to learn the actual reasons for the raids before demonizing the DEA.

Why would you do that when you can just generalize and jump to conclusions? haha

For whatever reasons they were raided, people seem to forget one simple fact. Marijuana is illegal on the federal level. State law means shit to the Feds. The Feds can raid, close down, arrest the pot shops and growers any time they please. As far as obummers " statements" about leaving the industry alone,,, that is just bullshit and hot air until an actual law on the fed level is passed.

hopefully with these types of things happening to the pot people, they might just come around to see that less government is a good thing. you stay out of my business, I'll stay out of yours type of thing.

[Ah Pook]

One of the dispensaries was raided, up here. My understanding is that only facilities that were not in compliance were raided.

Exactly.....Why the hell would any group spend a shit load of $$$$$ and time to pass a state law that they know violates a major federal law, and expect it to work. The whole thing is a joke and will be nothing but problems for owners, growers users, etc...

Because it sets a precendent for the future. We heard an article the other day how they stopped training police dogs to sniff out pot. That is either very short sighted, or prophetically long sighted.

law is the law !

now go drink out of the other fountain.

ETA: I suppose at least some of you are against things like the MT firearms freedom act as well.

I see this thread turning into another CF.

Just said on the news the raid was on Columbian cartels that have moved here to get a stake in the "legal" side of the business and funnel the money back to Columbia.
