These guys got caught, but how many other crooks are out there capitalizing on the medical marijuana laws of Colorado, California and the other states where pot is legal?

DENVER — Colorado authorities have shut down what they say was a scheme using photocopied medical-marijuana patient records to illegally sell the drug for as much as $7,000 per pound.
Attorney General John Suthers said Friday that seven people have been indicted on charges of producing the marijuana in northern Colorado. Two more are accused of selling the pot.
The suspects are accused of coming from New Mexico to use Colorado's medical marijuana law as a cover to grow and sell the drug to anyone willing to pay. Authorities say they seized more than 110 pounds of processed marijuana worth an estimated $375,000, 687marijuana plants, nine firearms and $175,000 in cash.
Medical marijuana has been legal in Colorado since 2000.

Medical Marijuana is very helpful for a lot of people who really need it who cant eat due to a serious illness or to relive some pain just so they can get through the day but, it is being abused by way to many people who should never be prescribed it, just because they say the are stressed or cant sleep or some other bull$!@t like that.
