That's true GB, as long as you are saying that everyone that owns and operates a dispensary, collective, what have you, are all big time dealers. Not to mention the vendors, and growers, and ultimately patients. You don't have to be big time anything, if you are dispensing cannabis out of a storefront, it pisses the DEA off, alot.:jointsmile: No matter how accepting you local level is. Look at Santa Cruz. This past year, a guy in out here was convicted and sentenced for being a "manager", he worked in a clinic, he was the manager. It was his job. Or take your pick of any of the examples of folks indicted with federal charges.

I agree, the feds do take out criminal element, and they do take out criminal "big time dealers" involved in MMJ as well that are trying to get mo''money!
But it is incidental. The DEA is just picking low hanging fruit and taking all they can with the resources they have. They just assume everyone involved is the worst possible Tony Montana dealer imagineable. So there are lots of hard working, honest, law abiding citizens, that are doing something positive and helping their community that are getting caught up.
Sorry for the rant.:jointsmile:
