Since Colorado became the first state in the nation to allow sale of recreational marijuana, Tim Cullen has opened four dispensaries in the Denver area.
He employs almost 100 people. He has a three-year-old son. And he is all too aware that, unless Congress were to change federal law, the next president could take his livelihood and his freedom away.
“I go to work every day and violate federal law,” Cullen, 43, told the Guardian. “Worries about the next administration is always something in the back of my head.”
On Wednesday, several members of the Republican party who favor enforcing federal law against people like Cullen will make the case in his state that they should be the next president, during the GOP debate in nearby Boulder.
