32 indicted in massive Colorado marijuana trafficking investigation
Colorado officials have won indictments against 32 people accused of being part of a multimillion-dollar scheme to grow marijuana illegally in Colorado and ship it out of state.
Talk about having better things to do!!!!!
It's against the law, DUmbass.

1. I feel so much safer.
Stupid certainly rules in the U.S.
A war against a plant that has never caused the death of a single person.
A war against a plant, that has too numerous to mention, medicinal purposes.
A war against a plant that can feed and clothe humanity.
A war against a plant that could greatly reduce the need for fossil fuels.
A war against a plant that could replace oil based plastics.
The damage the government of the U.S. has done to its citizens because of this miraculous plant in inexcusable.
If this is such a wonder plant why is it illegal?

5. Do you think these people are being indicted for drug trafficking or something else?
In the absence of any drug violations, these guys are guilty as hell of tax evasion.
Yeah... ya think?

7. That will continue to be an issue until re-scheduling.
No bank will touch a cannabis business. That, and only cost of product can be deducted as a business expense. Insurance companies that will insure operations are few and far between, and employees are paid in cash. Dispensaries have to make appointments with the IRS to pay their taxes, because they have to do it in cash.
Until the Federal Government releases the Federal regulations - it will be a cash and carry industry, legit or not.
That's because it's illegal!

6. Great post
Add in the prison complex, police unions and the alcohol industry and you have a pretty comprehensive listing of all of the industries that have a stake in keeping it illegal.

12. So, now could Colorado sue Minnesota for continuing prohibition thus causing crime in Colorado?
It is already a federal crime in Colorado, DUmbass. Add to it posession with intent to distribute (felony 3) for each time and the years in a federal prison rack up quick.
