[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even the "good" Obama federally prosecuted illegal marijuana sales from dispensaries. If people think they are safe breaking the law, more power to them. [/quote]

Who was prosecuted? [b]Purchasers[/b] or the people who took a far greater risk of distributing pounds and pounds of pot?[/quote]
It is pretty clear that I am talking to children here, which is awesome. I hate to be "that guy", but one of things I've noticed about "kids these days" (basically Millennials on down) is that everyone thinks they know everything and and aggressively tell your and yet refuse to do their homework.

The Obama administration cracked down on medical marijuana dispensaries, prosecuting both owners and ordinary minimum wage employees.

State and local police in California are now actively prosecuting the "grey market" that people in this thread seem to think is immune.

That will soon come to DC. But it is easy to see why folks on here feel immune. They're not Black.
[quote]Storefront adult-use dispensaries were, and are, illegal, but gray-market sellers began offering to deliver overpriced items like juice that would come with a free “gift” of weed. Police records show that during the next four years of quasi-legality, 84 percent of the people arrested on cannabis-related charges in the city were Black—about double the proportion of Black people living in the nation’s capital.[/quote][/quote]

So I'm a child but you totally ignore the bolded word in my short question. Of course. [/quote]
