There is one thing we might have forgotten...
Investigations at times go on for Years before action is taken.
I highly doubt the Feds (or Any LEO) would Ever drop an investigation because state laws change.
Without details, it's hard to determine how these raids happened and whether they violated state laws post legalization.
In Oregon during the 2013 debate on HB 3460--(allows medical marijuana facilities/dispensaries)-one of the complaints from local LEO was that they were Worried they might lose the opportunity to proceed with and prosecute on active investigations.
Of course "they" were preserved.
I believe all of this--regardless of Why-is pure fiscal waste that does Nothing to secure - but rather Harms - public safety and society in general.
