In fact, there may not have even been a citizen complaint against you, just some vigilante law enforcement officer.
Tailed you to find your source, then phonied up a complaint to get a warrant.
I’m not as confident of the race angle, though.

IIRC the Colorado DEA agent stated he would not follow Obama or DJ guidelines when Obama said he would not go after med pot growers. This shows the problem of not firing the Bush operatives at all levels of government.
.
Not the WH CofS, for example, whose impact suggests he’s a Bush holdover, defeating Obama’s efforts to follow through on nearly every campaign promise.

I don’t have much sympathy for you.
You decided to open a business based on a very risky, possibly the riskiest, business model available.
You opened a dispensary knowing there were major regulations coming down the road soon.
You chose to grow a bunch of pot, which, even though you and Rob Cory wish otherwise, is still illegal.
And you are surprised that law enforcement is pushing back on the dispensaries and grow operations?!
No surprise here…
Law enforcement doesn’t like dispensaries because it is too easy to funnel criminal monies through them. Dispensaries are a blight in many neighborhoods, mine included, where literally ten exist in ten blocks and young adults are tromping in and out . Dispensaries are not legitimate businesses, they are one business model for providing medical marijuana to patients. This does not make them ‘right’ nor ‘protected’.
If you, or any of your colleagues, believe that you have a green pass to do what you wish with your weed, wake up Whiskey Lima. You deal with a schedule I substance, whether you think it medicinal or not.
You would like to have our culture accept pot for what it is, but our culture isn’t there yet.
The DEA officer made a statement today completely contrary to his statements yesterday.
and today…

And if we are operating within the guidelines of the law, helping people with a number of different aliments and helping to turn the tides on how cannabis is viewed, why should we have to give up our Constitutional Rights and be victim to intimidation?
Those are pretty ridiculous analogies. What next – Gestapo analogies?
Under Jim Crow, the law gave Blacks the right to be equal and vote, but the laws were set up so that people could not take advantage of their Constitutional Rights. That is what is happening here. Yes, you can have MMJ. But you cannot grow it or sell it without possibly being arrested, according to the DEA.
McCarthyism…
What? If you are Mexican and drinking beer in the national forest you are a trafficker? …This is modern day McCarthyism.
Asking neighbors to turn in neighbors they think are growing…This is modern day McCarthyism.
Look, I get we part of a movement. With that movement comes risk. We are willing to take the risk as long as all parties play by the rules.
My job is to stay on top of law enforcement and point out where their logic is flawed and history has shown us law enforcement WILL try and bend and sometimes break the rules.
This is not new to our history. This is how this country has made progress on most social issues including prohibition, the voting rights act, gay marriage and now pot.
