That is correct. I do have a shop here in LA. It's true the feds can raid or shut down a shop that's been seeing 700-1000 patients on daily basis, or if they suspect them pushing pounds out the back door or if they're involved in other activities.
A true legitimate shop that's running for the cause gets hardly if ever touched by them. I know from experience and from speaking to other owners that have been in business since 2006 and never once got a knock on the door.
