the obama admin. is going against its own promises by going after businesses that are obeying state laws.

Boulder County District Attorney Stan Garnett sent a letter last month to Walsh asking that federal prosecutors not pursue cases against Boulder dispensaries that were complying with local law. He said local regulations, which bar dispensaries within 500 feet of a school, were working well.

That letter was rebuffed by Walsh, who said keeping dispensaries away from schools was a "core responsibility" of law enforcement and supported by most Coloradans.

Jeff Gard, a Boulder attorney who represents a number of medical marijuana businesses, said he's only aware of the three named dispensaries receiving letters. He called it "very curious" that two dispensaries close to CU received letters and other marijuana businesses near elementary and middle schools did not.

"Are we really trying to protect the students, all of whom are older than 18 and many of whom are older than 21?" he asked. "There were a lot of businesses located near more vulnerable populations."
