I highly doubt the DEA is not truly concerned with taking away legal marijuana from the few people who actually need it. However recently there has been an explosion of people who have no honest need for medical marijuana, but are more than willing to pay a few hundred dollars to some doctor who is more than happy to justify their subscription with an over dramatized illness. I personally know multiple people who have done exactly this, only to then get cards to every club in town and re-sell the marijuana they get from the clubs illegally. People taking advantage of an essentially unregulated system is what is bringing the recent federal heat onto the industry. The best solution is for the clinics to work towards forming an independent oversight committee than can help regulate the industry. In its current state, the Feds will continue to attempt to squash it until they no longer view it as a major “Threat to society”.
