>The Democrats and some Republicans have been facilitating illegal campaign funding through cannabis businesses and underground sales since the 2008 election; funding and fueling an internal war among government agencies that is now rising to the surface with the ongoing war between Trump and the Deep State controlled DOJ. The Drug War itself has been a key pillar of the Deep State for decades for providing illicit funding for covert operations and political campaigns.
>Groups like the Open Society Foundation, Drug Policy Alliance, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, and Americans For Safe Access have been laundering quasi-legal illegal pot monies into various DNC influenced PAC funds to maintain control over the Democratic Party on behalf of a small cabal of Deep State billionaires.
>It still is a federal felony, but the DOJ is actively ignoring the money laundering because of the persons involved at the higher levels. The DEA is largely GOP influenced and the FBI is largely Dem influenced; they block investigations on both sides not to mention the even deeper levels of obstruction on the municipal and county levels.
>I should also mention that Congressmen who are tied to the money laundering networks like Earl Blumenauer of Oregon, Jared Huffman of California, Jared Polis of Colorado, Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper and Dana Rohrbacher of California have deep political and financial ties to the Deep State cannabis lobbies and their dispensaries have used political legislation and showmanship to obstruct DEA investigations into the Democratic money pools that are involved in making political war against the President.
>Maryland will probably get a second run at legalization if the Democrats win the gubernatorial election this year and if not then, probably 2020. The East Coast is heavily lobbied by Big Alcohal and Big Tobacco to restrict medical cannabis' influence unless they can control it, you see already see that with efforts by certain attorneys in New Jersey to restrict the number of licenses and who will get them.
>Groups like Marijuana Policy Project run campaigns that call for open cannabis markets but behind closed doors heavily lobby to restrict license applications and issuance. MPP is heavily influenced by OSF/Soros and the Canadian company known as Tilray, which is actually controlled by Peter Thiel. That is why the medical programs in both Maryland and New Jersey were highly restricted to just a handful of growers and operators because they do not want competition.
>The game is this cabal of deep state billionaires keep the majority of the market illegal and underground while using their connections and political influence to legalize their own operations to create de facto monopolies. This divides the marijuana movements in each state in two, those trying to create their entrepreneurial business and the deep state sell-outs. The sell-outs then snitch our the entrepreneurs to local PD, DEA, FBI and IRS to purge the market of competition while enjoying political protection from their owners. This is why it took so long for California to go legal because there was major political warfare between the local marijuana community and the deep state, in which the latter ultimately prevailed.
>Every dispensary and grow in the West Coast was laundering money prior to legalization. PAC donations were facilitated by non-profit shell corporations which were numerous. You had to set up a non-profit just to open a collective and then the money had to go somewhere so the collective could effectively 'break even' and not violate all of these federal RICO statutes, which most did. The non-profits were funded by research organizations, that's how the billionaires kept themselves at arms length because the research organizations could distribute money for 'academic purposes'. The non-profit dispensaries and collectives would sell the pot then donate and transfer their profits to other non-profits and foundations (cancer research, children's foundations, geriatric care centers, gay rights organizations, AIDS organizations, environmental causes, social justice causes, indian churches, Scientology, fringe religious groups etc.), from there the money would be contributed to PACs. They would also make donations through cash businesses, especially Hollywood movies and porn films because it is really easy to make cash investments disappear in the film business.
