How many officers or people will be injured, or maybe killed. Because Colorado wants their cut of the sales? You made the drug legal,what’s with the raids??

All about the taxes...Yep. You know what they say - don't mess with taxes!
To: Olog-hai
This was predictable; the government would tax it into the black market.

A few years back I was predicting that the war on some drugs would not end with legalization. “Just wait until it’s the revenuers, not DEA, coming after your stills...um, I mean plants”.
“We think you have more than the 12 plants allowed by law, open up, we have a warrant”
No knock raids are justified here, the tax cheats could send a plant down the garbage disposer in the time it takes us to politely knock and identify ourselves”.

Years ago, the federal revenuers require a Tax Stamp for all pot transactions.
Is that law still on the books?

Here in MA my neighbor buys t-shirts off a website then the guy drops off the shirt at his house for $100 dollars that also comes with a “Free Gift”.

But I thought legalization was going to solve our War on Drugs problem.
Guess not.

State law allows up to 12 marijuana plants per residence for personal use,...12?! Dagnabit I thought it was only six so that's all I grew in '15 and '16. Only four were females both years. &*$#&%

This was predictable; the government would tax it into the black market.I don't know if that's true here. A friend of mine smokes a lot of pot and he buys his from a legal outlet. Says it's a lot cheaper than black market weed. If anyone knows what the going price is he does.

Umm... I thought this kind of stuff wasn’t supposed to happen!
LOL... things were supposed to be easier for law enforcement to deal with!
How could this have gone so wrong???
I suspect that 247 homes was just scratching the surface.
Oh well... they were warned.

What a waste of tax payer money and resources. 250 homes raided? At what cost to the tax payers? 10 million? And all for 4500 pounds of pot? What a farce.
