You all have wild estimations.

The more documented and restricted a states legal cannabis is, only makes it all the more easy for feds. Chaos has always been the criminals friend. Expect the unexpected.

Agents also seized business documents like shipping records and customer lists that could lead to indoor marijuana growers, the officials said

Operation Green Merchant.

I always thought it was October 26.

But obviously, it was spread over days and weeks.

"The now infamous operation started with one DEA agent named Jim Stewart. He concocted the initial plans for Operation Green Merchant while thumbing through an issue of HIGH TIMES magazine. Stewart noticed the overwhelming amount of ads for seed banks and grow supply stores in the magazine. To hack into the seed system, Stewart then devised a plan to send undercover agents to the companies that advertised in “counter-culture” magazines to inquire about growing cannabis.

This investigation led to multiple businesses being raided and even shut down. The crazy thing about all of this was that the DEA seized business records from all of these businesses. DEA agents started harassing customers of these businesses on the sole fact that they had purchased goods from a hydroponic supply store that advertised in Sensimilla Tips or HIGH TIMES. Operation Green Merchant eventually led to the demise of Sensimilla Tips and the world’s first seed bank ran by the legendary Neville.

Operation Green Merchant sent the cannabis scene into the complete underground. It wasn’t until 1996 when Proposition 215 passed in California that the cannabis growing scene would peek its head out in the open."

Actually, in Silicon Valley, people would smoke pot openly in public during the early 90's. I remember going into a Long's drug store in Redwood City. There was some guy outside, hanging in the shade, smoking a spliff. Next to a parking lot where city cops were parked.

I remember reading about a manicuring party where one of the trimmers was a woman police officer. That's Officer Trimmigrant, to you

I've grown kind of fond of Kate McKinnon's SNL parody of Sessions as having been fathered by a male possum. (*Apologies to possums, and possum-lovers everywhere).

Has made perfect sense to me, though.. A rodent, almost a weasel. Hanging in the trees and hiding in the cupboards. A twisted voyeur and neo-Puritan by any estimation.

Wonder what he'd taste like, trussed up and roasted with an apple in his mouth, as Idi Amin used to do with his opponents?

Knowing that "marijuana smokers are not nice people," I could see it happening. The munchies are mighty powerful sometimes....

ok but someone must of slapped you pretty hard to mess up your vision because no where does it say in his memo that feds are cracking down.
anyway maybe you can tell us how and who he said to crack down on?

They have too many big fish to fry first. Dont think they wont come after med people.

Yeah i was dropped on myhead as a kid a couple times. Why don't you go read what he said about making all obama era policies on marijuans null and void then get back to me. I wont insult you by saying didnt think so. So go read his press release and tell me im wrong.

Memos dont mean shit and are as disposable as executive orders. Only legislation is non binding. Sessions said he would enforce the laws as written.

And btw that slap you was intended as a joke.

[Wendull C.]

Just to clarify, sessions said he would crack down on anyone violating federal law. Which means to me, myself and most i know.

Thanks for the links to reality, VTA. Respect.

Turn back the clock to 1980?wtf

Returns all the stuff wrapped up in different colorful rolling papers for ALL to enjoy!
