I guess knowing what you're doing is illegal makes it easier to conduct business compared to grey markets. |

I would just like to see some fidelity to the foundational law rather than the acceptance that it can be amended at will by judicial fiat. |

This is the standard answer with regard to carry permits. The state attorney general is actively looking at possession, purchasing, and sale as well. Am I eligible for a permit if I have a medical marijuana card or own a dispensary? No. C.R.S. 18-12-203(c) states: A sheriff shall issue a permit to carry to an applicant who is not ineligible to possess a firearm pursuant to Federal Law. Federal Law 18 USC 922(g) (3) prohibits any person who is an unlawful user of, or addicted to, any controlled substance from shipping, transporting, receiving, or possessing firearms or ammunition. Marijuana is listed in the Controlled Substances Act as a Schedule I controlled substance, and there are no exceptions in Federal Law for marijuana purportedly used for medicinal purposes, even if such use is sanctioned by State Law. Further, Federal Law 18 USC 922(d) (3) makes it unlawful for any person to sell or otherwise dispose of any firearm or ammunition to any person knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that such person is an unlawful user of, or addicted to, a controlled substance. Any person who uses or is addicted to marijuana, regardless of whether his/her state has passed legislation authorizing marijuana use for medicinal purposes, is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance, and is prohibited by Federal Law from possessing firearms or ammunition.

Quoted: Yet they launder drug money on a daily basis and provide banking to illegals. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: TL:DR Banks, even state ones want nothing to do with the finances of the (il)legal drug trade. Yet they launder drug money on a daily basis and provide banking to illegals. Risk/reward. Cartels have more money, are willing to pay for laundering services and aren't going to talk about it; unlike some hippy selling weed out of a quasi-legal dispensary. |

Obama hates the weed. They are going to wait, build a case and then come down on the weed shops and their gun owning users like two tons of bricks. Wait and see.

Partner Chris Williams, the only marijuana provider arrested in the crackdown to go to trial, was found guilty of eight drug and weapons charges. Montana Cannabis partner sentenced to probation http://www.businessinsider.com/montana-medical-marijuana-federal-crackdown-2013-5 Pot advocates were running caravans, helping hundreds of residents in a day get medical marijuana user cards. Some doctors who conducted cursory exams on scores of people were fined. "For a long time, we were hearing complaints from local law enforcement and from citizens ... that they were tired of marijuana and they were tired of it next to schools, to churches, people smoking it openly on the streets," In Montana, what started out as a system to provide marijuana to those with health problems turned the state into a source for drug trafficking, Cotter said. The industry had ballooned so much and so quickly that drug traffickers were operating under the guise of medicinal caregivers, and the pot was being sent to users in New Jersey, Virginia, Colorado and other states, he said. Now, marijuana is still in Montana http://www.cannabisnews.org/montana-medical-marijuana-industry-on-wane/2012/01/02/ He didn’t mention anyone by name but one Missoula resident, Jason Christ, became infamous for Internet “tele-clinics” and traveling “cannabis caravans” where physicians provided medical marijuana recommendations for hundreds of people in a few hours. “I know that the people in my home community are happy that the storefronts are no longer present and the billboards are not actively promoting the product and sending messages to the youth of the community.” |
