> If the law enforcement is talking to you in the U.S., the only right answer is "I'd prefer to have a laywer here."

> Not a joke, for real.

Obligatory link to the fantastic "Don't Talk to the Police" lecture from the Regent University School of Law.

Yes, the advice is good, but this is targetted against "operating an unlicensed dispensary" -- it is important you realize because you think you've broken no law still does not make you safe, you need to not talk to the police without a lawyer, for your own safety, even if you think you've done nothing wrong.

You (or your friends) can go through serious inconvenience and pain, from lengthy and expensive legal battle (during which you may not be allowed to leave the state etc), to conviction and sentance, even if you don't think you've done something wrong. Innocent people and/or people who didn't realize they were breaking a law get convicted all the time.

Talking to the cops will not help your situation. Not even when they say "Look, we may have it wrong, if you just tell us what happened we can get this all cleared up." Not without a lawyer.
