SandBox Comments: Glenwood Springs Post Independent "Commissioners verify medical marijuana grow operations"

SandBox keeps asking the questions: 

"How long can this placing by elected officials of small businesses into high risk go on?"

"How much longer can these small high-risk businesses be allowed to violate federal laws (and) why are taxpayers forced to cover all the costs of handling all the fall-out?"

John Stroud:
