The dispensary owners and growers are are always the ones that take the fall. Even in Colorado, take a look at the Bartkowitz case. As a caregiver, all of his patients were exposed to federal prosecutors, and 0 of those patients have been charged. The feds are not stupid enough to take the heat of dragging sick and dying patients through the courts.
agreed and I really don't expect that aspect to change. Even with a new administration that would love to do it, I think the cat is out of the bag on the health benefits of cannabis. They will never be able to stuff it back in pandoras little box, as far as the individual legal patient is concerned.

That is why in my opinion it is so very important that you guys, the movers and shakers of the MMC world really need to lobby against the privacy violations of the patient. Yes, you guys are taking a major risk running the grow ops and centers, and yes you guys will reap the benefits of the industry if you protect your customer base, and that base is the individual patient.
