Well said Horseman,

I do agree with most of what you said. They generally deal with the bottom of the barrel, the cream of the crap. They don't have a great deal of experience dealing with legal pot smokers. We need to educate by example that we are law abiding citizens.

What I have to take exception to is "Well first off, they can think what ever they damn well please, the law says what the law says." Yes, they do have to operate within the confines of the law AS THEY UNDERSTAND IT. If they arrest you, confiscate your medicine and put you in jail while exercising their duty and the DA later decides to drop the charges or perhaps you have to prove your legal status in court. At this point you have been subjected to circumstances & expenses that no law abiding citizen should have to endure.

My hope is that we may be able to educate LE that we are not criminals exploiting a loophole in the justice system. We are law abiding citizens attending to out own personal health.

I don't want to look back at having been arrested, loosing my job & my home, spending my savings to be able to say "I was right". I want LE in my community to understand that what I am doing is legal from the beginning.

Gawd I can get long winded sometimes.......
