then why would you still need to obey US laws?

fill me in
You would have to talk to a lawyer as I'm not one

However, my working theory is if you are a US citizen then no matter where you live you still have to follow US laws. Same goes if you are a non US citizen and company but are selling your products to people in the US. You still have to follow the U.S's laws. That or expect a long wait in the customs office if you ever visit this country.


Using your weed site as an example.. Let's say I moved to Columbia and started selling cocaine to people in the US.. Don't yea think the US govt would come after me or at least try like hell?
