Sorry about the double post all, but I had to think about this a bit. So I am supposed to submit my name and the location of my grow to my oh so friendly and reasonable local gummint (Aurora-very pot friendly), not to mention the state, because they know so much about growing? How might this work? I apply to the city for a license, they come out and inspect my grow, undoubtedly charging a hefty application fee (non-refundable under any circumstances, of course). Then the bureaucrat (and cop, I'm sure) come out and say: " We'll get back to you." In the meantime, of course, my grow has been ongoing so I can eat. Then I get a certified letter informing me that not only has my license been denied for numerous reasons, including that I was already growing without one, but I'm being cited for a zoning violation for growing without a license, no building permit pulled for the finish and electrical work on my grow, and operating a business in a residential area, (even though Aurora won't issue a business license for any mj-related businesses because they violate federal law) among other things. Since I can't cure these problems, I shut my operation down and pay my fines. Then a couple of months later a cop shows up at my door with a warrant for my arrest. It seems a couple of my patients have died, or worse yet changed care-givers without telling me, so my entire operation (that they have plenty of pictures of and other documentation from my application for a license) was illegal since my plant count exceeded my number of patients). Now I'm charged with a felony and looking at a court battle. Even assuming I prevail, which is not very realistic, I've still got a problem (aside from bankruptcy). Suppose now a real gung-ho law and order asshole gets elected President, and reverses the Obama administration's policy vis-a-vis medical mj. I HAVE ALREADY CONFESSED TO A FEDERAL FELONY, ON AN OFFICIAL DOCUMENT, WITH PICTURES! The only way this scenario is not realistic is that the City of Aurora will NEVER allow anyone to have a grow operation legally within city limits, so my investment, if I want to be legal, is already worthless. What a joke.
