There were a lot less CA growers/business owners here, less imported MMC weed, but we were a much smaller target so maybe we just weren't yet on the radar - CA was even on 60 minutes with Fed raids on legal MMCs, but CO wasn't at that scale - we are now.
But if you look at it from the perspective of the amount of medical marijuana Obama has essentially permitted, this is vastly better than the Bush regime. I think his whole perspective is flawed.
