This honestly doesn't surprise me. This is how the government truly feels they can treat us too.

Get states like Colorado, California and Washington to legalize this year, strive for it make it the goal. We can have nationally legalized cannabis, but we to fight for it the same way as MMJ.

I believe once you have as many legalized cannabis state as MMJ states then the feds won't be able to try and bust everyone. OVERGROW THE GORVERNMENT!
