Why do you assume it's illegal though? They have legal cannabis in Colorado.

  > Why do you assume it's illegal though? Because growing, selling, and possessing cannabis is illegal under US federal law, and if you are a organizer, manager, or supervisor deriving substantial income from such an operation conducted with 5 or more other individuals, you can be charged wih a felony with a 20-year mandatory minimum sentence for a first offense, and if the operation handles enough product or makes enough money, the minimum sentence moves up to life without possibility of parole. There's a current federal law that prohibits initiating prosecutions for cannabis operations that are permitted under state-level medical marijuana laws, but that doesn't negate the offense, it just means any charges that would be covered by the prohibition (which violations not strictly with medical marijuana laws.are technically not) are delayed as long as the policy is in effect. > They have legal cannabis in Colorado. No, they have a situation in which some cannabis trade is prohibited by only one of the two applicable sovereigns.
