this industry has been called legitimate, mmj is becoming more mainstream in the media, on every tv sitcom/drama, people are using it. It IS mainstream. Colorado has bragged about it. There is no shutting it down unless they roll in the national guard.

1284 and 109 bought this industry the legitimacy they needed to set up shop. Paying your fees was paying your dues, and did buy the legitimacy you needed.

When key provisions of 1284 and 109 are killed, you will still have what you paid for. You may not have the competitive edge you once did, but that's good for everyone. Keep paying your taxes and mmj in CO is going nowhere.
