To add--many dispensory owners are little concerned (the 100 plant) that the feds may enforce.
And all of this could have been handeled so "easily" by requiring that independant growers go through a criminal background check--and requiring that dispensory owners file a 1099 on them so they pay federal and state taxes on the income from being independant growers.

Government at work--LOL
