Why is Colorado different?

There's a difference between naiveté and realistic. :thumbsup:

I would not be surprised either, just hope not

It's pretty straight forward folks.
If you follow the state regulations. The Feds will leave you alone. That is of course for now.
If on the other hand your MMJ is finding it's way accross state lines. Or you are venturing out
on another limb. You might not act too surprised when you get busted.
I am all for legalization, but we are far from that at this point.

Stay between the lines.

Was Berkowitz a caregiver or a dispensary? makes you wonder who they really want.

I have asked myself this many times over the last year and I cannot come up with an answer that convinces myself.

Dispensaries are raided in other states but not here. Is it because the state legislature has decided to regulate the industry? I don't think so because law makers in the other states have attempted to embrace the industry and try to regulate, but they are almost immediately threatened by the DOJ..ie..Oakland mega grows and now Washington state.

What is it? I must be missing something, but can't figure it out.

Anybody?

The Feds are really pulling the strings and directing this while the other States fall in like sheep and follow Colorado, sad but true Colorado is not the way to go if any of you other States are listening.

It's all about perspective, or lack thereof. In many states, including Alabama where I grew up, you would face the death penalty for selling marijuana in the amounts you do. We have the most progressive marijuana laws in the nation, as well as a large and permissive MMJ program. I think all states would do well to follow our lead and liberalize MJ laws.

Colorado is making it so difficult for the little guy it is not the model to go by, I myself did years for 1 pound, so I am aware of different State laws as well as federal. Dont be fooled the Feds are force feeding Colorado's State legislation to make it easy for themselves as all the other 49 fall in line, don't let false promises make you feel like you need to follow Colorado, Michigan and many other States are debating this right now, and the people are not keen to give it all to big money interest, so they are doing their best to come up with their own rules,(which I am proud to be helping with).

Fight for complete legalization, medicine, recreational whatever complete legalization in 2012! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

your State should go legal in 2012 and it has allot more bad karma on it then killing pot dealers, Alabama has a long history of killing people they disagree with!

[HighPopalorum]

Indeed they do, which is why I left. I expect marijuana will always be illegal in Alabama.

Always have, always will.

I think it has more to do with the legal aspect of the Colorado MMJ movement. It's written into the highest laws of our state.

If I'm not mistaken, Colorado is one of the only states whose medical marijuana law is actually in the state Constitution.
