in this case, my hometown has passed "verbiage changes.." to included the "Federal, state & local laws" for local business' to follow... Therefore the "legal" caregivers that have set up shop are now illegal in city limits and all patients have to go out of city limits to obtain their medicine. There r 2 clinics that have been grandfathered in, my wife works with one. We have over 40 patients and now we r forced to get out of our hometown....crazy. The city attorney won't return my email's and they've never wanted to cooperate..even though it's legal by 63% of vote. They are worried about federal funding being revoked and having to pay it back due to contractual agreements. We don't know which "contractual agreements.." they're talking about but, a good guess would be that there are other things going on here.
Take for example the speed limit thing in MT... we had none as of about 5 yrs ago... the Feds didn't like that.. we did it anyway. Then they decided to say ' look we're not going to be giving any more federal funding if you don't change it' SO WE DID... they never asked for money back... & we were the only state to do that.. But we're not the only state to have MMJ legalized ?? oh but they'll make an example out of the 1.5 million ppl in MT.. not the 36 mil in CA...????? (& it's been legal there since '97) Just wondering if anyone else in the 14 legal states (or CA) has had any Federal Backlash about repaying any $$$ or is this the fear that it WILL happen after the OBAMA??
