22. I work in the mmj industry in Colorado
I run an analytical testing lab, and we have already been dropped by our bank after being pressed by the Obama administration.

This is scary shit.

The product out on the streets is shit, and heavily doused with pesticides. Without proper analysis, the strains with higher CBD content (what cancer patients need) rather that just THC can't be identified and cultivated.

In short, there is no way to have safe and effective medicinal marijuana without the mmj industry.

The feds think they are going after Al Capone, but they are really going after HIV, cancer, and chronic pain patients and it's fucking disgusting.
