Missing a part of the story!

Great podcast! I'm a fellow cultivator with Anchor Cannabis and listening to this gave me extreme anxiety as I relived the trauma of legalization... Unfortunately the section on corporate sabotage against small business was missed-although it may need it's own podcast! The only thing applying got us was a government record on the grounds of whether it was known or not, we were terrorists. After year's in the legal system it would have been far easier to not follow the rules.
