If you will read the whole thread I said in an earlier post that either Obama lied or he doesn't have control of the DEA. Either way you slice it that's bad. He isn't laying a foundation for anything. He is on the record saying, and I am paraphrasing, "I won't be speding a whole lot of political capital on marijuana legalization." The only reason California isn't in the same boat is because there are sooooo many growers! There are so many people breaking the law that they don't need to go after the "legal" growers. Remember, federal law trumps state law. The federal govt. can come after whomever they choose. If the DEA decides to bust you because you are 2 plants over the legal limit, (Just using you as an example) the state isn't going to come to your rescue. They can't and even if they could they wouldn't. Obama doesn't give a shit about "laying the foundation" for anything. It doesn't matter to me because I'm keeping a low profile. I didn't trust the govt. on this issue before Obama and I sure as hell don't trust the govt. now! Believe what you want to bro. Hopefully they won't get to you for a while because they are so busy busting "illegal" grows.
I read the topic. You're sticking to your guns that Obama lied. He did not. From the first time Obama said not to target people compliance with their state law the DEA defied him, like a spoiled child.
Yes, Obama did say that he isn't pursing legalization, just like he said he didn't want to waste tax payer money targeting people in compliance with their state laws. It isn't because there's "soooo many growers" here. It's because we've been going through this issue since 1996. A little research will show you just how many dispensaries have been busted here. They don't come here because our laws make them unwelcome.
Federal law does trump state law and federal law grants states the right to govern themselves. If you're two plants over the legal limit you are
no longer in compliance and are now breaking the law. Your example is why this guy got busted, along with being a huge idiot and bragging about the profits from his operation.
I do believe what I want because I'm neither a child nor am I paranoid. I am, however, intelligent and don't give law enforcement a reason to look at me.
