Well actually I didn't tell YOU so, I told them over at stop the drug war.com but still...
I KNEW that there would be raids of patients, providers or legal dispensaries (maybe even all of the above) within a week of the release of that memo everyone was oh so happy the Whitehouse put out. I knew it the day the memo was released and seconds after I finished reading it on that day.
Please tell me that everyone else here wasn't so gullivle as to think that memo actually meant anything. Please!
Empty rhetoric and business for the drug warriors goes on as usual.
Now I will make my next prediction and I will do it here.
Looking beyond these raids in Colorado that occured within a week of the memo release, you can bet that the number of raids on precisely these same types of people and grows will grow with rapidity.
THAT was the reason for the release of them memo I have decided. I couldn't figure it out until these raids, but now I understand.
They have every intention now of hiding behind the fact that they ONLY raid people and business that are high profile and working on a large commercial basis. This frees them up to raid anyone they like that has more than 3 or 4 plants growing.
They can do this because people who do not use marijuana or specifically grow it have no idea what amount of plants should be considered large or commercial. To the uneducated 20 or 30 plants seems like alot.
Even those with a limited knowledge of marijuana and its sale think that 20 or 30 plants is alot given our governments and law enforcements exageration of harvest amounts and street value.
These are the poeple that by thier pot an 1/8th at a time for 30 bucks and that lasts them for a week or more. So when they hear numbers like 1 Lb. per plant and two plants with an estimated street value of 10k (both of which are highly exaggerated) they think 20 plants equates to 20 Lbs and 100k street value. That would be alot, if it were even remotely true, for the average smoker.
so I say again..
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
