Perhaps he has seen it, perhaps not, but to me it shows what "auditors with guns" might look like. It was important for me to think Gov Ritter will see what this war on drugs is doing to families. In the video it looked like any typical american home. This video moved me, hopefully it will move Gov Ritter.

My operation has been totally upfront and on the radar of local authorities for quite a while. We have a pretty friendly local government here and they have been reasonable in accommodating this industry. I recently had to testify before the local county commissioners relative to a moratorium. I begged them not to but the local paper published my name. So much for anonymity. My wife who is also a patient got so stressed by this that it has made her sick. It basically has become very counterproductive to continue to do what was once something that was helping her and other patients that I serve here in my town. I'm moving my operation elsewhere at a huge cost in $$ and my time because of this. It will remain legal relative to plant count per patient and will comply with my rights and my patients' rights under Amendment 20. Once things get sorted out a bit with this new debacle, I will comply with the new law, as long as I am convinced that a bunch of nosey, self interested reporters will never in a million years have access to my location. I don't have a problem with being regulated and taxed as long as it is reasonable and my constitutional rights are protected. This new law seems to create a lot of questions relative to those constitutional rights.
:wtf:
