If you are talking about a bill that would be passed by the state to protect colorado people from federal prosecution it is impossible. The federal gov has the last say so about anything. The state can say you can do whatever when it comes to Marijuana. However, the feds can jump in and arrest you for growing a single plant if they decide to. We all talk about staying under the 100 plant rule. If the head of the dea call the dea and says screw the grows and discpencaries then they can arrest everyone from selling out of dispencaries and everyone growing either 1 plant or 2 million plants. One single tinny little plant carries a mandatory jail term in the federal system. As much as the news media is growing us in with all the bad stories and the attorney general wanting to marijuana in the center and get rid of it I am willing to bet sooner or later the attorney is going to pick up the phone and say hey guy "dea" this is getting out of control. How about some help. Then everyone is going to sit down and say OK lets pick a number and what every number they come up with be it 5 ,10 50 100 or whatever they are going to raid every grow the has that number or above. The the state is going to sit back and go "wow I cannot beleive the did that" and the DEA will either say no comment or sorry its against federal law.
