The Cole Memo instructs prosecutors to bring marijuana related prosecutions in only eight instances:
¥ Sales to minors
¥ Money going to criminal enterprises
¥ Sales across state lines
¥ Sales of other drugs
¥ Violence
¥ Grown on Federal land
¥ Driving under the influence (oddly)
The Cole Memo, for the first time, gives marijuana businesses a clear cut frame-work of rules and regulations to follow regarding exposure to Federal prosecutors.
