re: #356 ObserverArt

Did you happen to catch the 60 Minutes bit on Medical Marijuana, Colorado, and how the DEA is approaching it all last Sunday? You might want to check it out.

I had football on and left the TV on CBS and heard the story when it popped on. Sounds like the DEA has an understanding that things are changing and are applying their enforcement to match. It is all changing. Alcohol has been far more dangerous and corrosive to this and other societies and it goes on. Younger folks and many of the baby boomer age know it is unbalanced law at best. It will all change in time.

One of the problems right now is that the “functional” legality (if there is such a term) is really dependent on what the FedGov wants to focus on. If they take a blind eye approach to what states have legalized / de-criminalized then all is good, but what happens if / when a different administration decides that marijuana needs to be suppressed? In that case even if the state has approved your dispensary for example, you are always going to be looking over your shoulder for the DEA.
