technically it is illegal for coffeeshops to purchase supplies of the soft drugs they sell — because it is illegal for others to grow, harvest and supply commercial quantities of cannabis and its products.


That has got to be one of the stupidest law combinations I've heard of.

"Let's create a whole scene of legal entrepeneurs and then force them into illegal activity just to stay in business."

Rarely has the term "manufactured crime" applied better.

Here's an idea: why not turn that "organized crime" of pot growing into a legal business opportunity? Wouldn't that make a lot more sense?
