Apparently in the case of MM, not conducting a dynamic entry raid and throwing the survivors in jail qualifies as "compassion".
Tell them it will be regulated as to how much you can grow or possess, that they need to visit a doctor and get a recommendation, they need to purchase an ID card from the state, they need to register and give the government all kinds of personal information, AND they have to pay double to a monopoly for what they used to get on the street and what do they say?
"We think that's great!"
Baaaaaaa!
