Please don't kid yourself! They are going after print and TV advertising in CA now.

There really is no gray area here, just because CO has more stringent controls they are in voilation of federal law, you can't shut down one state and let the others continue to operate.

I believe they are going after CA first because the lack of oversight makes it easy pickings and sends a warning shot to the other states to either take action or the fed's will. I just saw someone posting about a new dispensary near the bay area, LOL, well that would be a very short lived operation.

People simply have ignored the warning signs over the past 8 months.
The Feds aren't going into California sweeping every dispensary into the gutter.

They have selected "seedy", less scrupulous businesses that may be selling to minors or undercover officers have visited and seen weapons, etc.

Targeting media that advertise is another indication of limited Federal resources.

As to kidding myself, I'll admit to having a somewhat foolish optimism, but I am aware of the potential consequences.

I have been wondering what the catalyst was for this sudden change, and I have a strong sense that it is just presidential politics.

Obama will not lose California, not likely anyway, but he can appear tough on drugs and crime in swing states where MMJ isn't legal.
