You failed to mention the growers, or caregivers. The patients are losing big time because they can't get the meds direct anymore. They could boycott the dispensaries and show the state how much their losing in taxes, maybe then they would find a way to tax the caregivers instead of trying to put them out of business. I guess they'll make more money busting the caregivers that are just trying to make a living than they would taxing them. Money is almost always the motive so it wouldn't surprise me if thats the angle their taking.
