Money ready; where ticket?

When you're your age you're overrun with hormones. You're just coming into adulthood, you're just starting to figure out the world. Everything feels desperately important.

People telling you it isn't love are probably a little bit older. They're right, but it's hard for you to understand that now.
We all went through it, people tried to help us. We mostly didn't listen or understand. We all had to learn for ourselves. We all try to help the next generation, they mostly don't listen or don't understand...rinse and repeat.
Anyways, the fella you love doesn't exist, the fella you love was a character played by a skilled actor who also happens to be a shithead in his real life. Yeah, it hurts, bad. It will pass, I promise. I was madly, desperately, eternally, and truly in love with at least two or three different girls in high school. I can hardly remember them, these girls I agonized over.
So...I guess just hang in there, life gets better.
You sound like you've got a pretty good head on your shoulders, so come away from this a little wiser. You don't have to be scared of the world, but it's okay to look at things and people with a critical eye. Don't wear your heart on your sleeve and don't spend money like water. People will take advantage.

And they all came back, shook my hand...

Ok, so it looks like the deal is that the dispensary wants a final decision from the Feds, under Federal law, dismissed with prejudice or something to the effect to where the issues can't be raised and re-adjudicated. Res judicata.
I think they're right that the contract is unenforceable under Federal law, it's probably more a question of whether that court is the proper venue, or what law applies to the case, Federal, Illinois, New York, or California.

But you can't rent out a murder room, with the explicit understanding that this is his murder room, to be used for murdering people.
I think, like another poster said, that it might depend on if the lease spells out the purpose of the business. If the nature of the business is known and illegal then Federal law isn't going to enforce a contract for that. I don't know enough about the law to know if this case is heard under Illinois law, but I do know that Federal courts sometimes evaluate cases under State law, so you might be right about that. I guess it depends on the issues raised in the suit. I haven't actually, you know, read anything about the case.
