Feds stockpile reports that could incriminate pot stores

Katie Kuntz, Rocky Mountain PBS I-News

The federal government is stockpiling hundreds of “suspicious activity reports” that could provide agents with sufficient evidence to shut down any state-legalized marijuana business.

While it may appear that federal authorities have taken a wait-and-see approach to marijuana legalization in the 23 states that now allow either medical or recreational use, these reports are poised like a blade over the budding industry should federal laws be enforced.

This risk of federal prosecution has led some cannabis companies to literally launder their money.
