DEA: We are Good Enough and Smart Enough…

And gosh darn it people like us.

The DEA recently raided a licensed legal (in California) Medical Marijuana dispensary. When you are arresting Americans for consensual victimless crime it can be hard to get the attention you deserve. To keep feeling relevant drug warriors always throws out self affirming quotes.

So, it’s capitalism they are protecting us from. I hope the DEA shuts down Pfizer and every other evil profit making drug company.

“There was no care, treatment or compassion shown to our operatives during any of our undercover buys, and marijuana was sold to our agents for 2 to 3 times the cost on the streets “said Steve Bolts, Undersheriff, San Luis Obispo Sheriff’s Department.

The lesson; Be more compassionate to undercover officers and don’t charge so much for weed. My idea for dispensaries- Coupons and free hugs for undercover agents.

“DEA and our law enforcement counterparts will not turn a blind eye to flagrant disregard of our nation’s essential drug laws—laws designed to protect our citizens, communities, and children.”
How can you argue with protecting children? You don’t hate CHILDREN do you? I never understood how arresting parents who engage in victimless crime helps children, but maybe that’s why I don’t prosecute anymore. I bet children all across California will sleep easy knowing that the 33,000 missing sex offenders in the state are not smoking medical marijuana.

I just watched ‘In Pot We Trust’ last night. That was a powerful movie, yes.You know how I feel about health care reform… but… if I had to choose between ‘ending the drug war’ or ‘pass HR 676 for universal coverage’, I would choose ending the drug war and slowing the growth of the prison-industrial complex.I think the health care reform agenda is more realistic for now, but that is just me. Admittedly, I haven’t shown enough support for the end of marijuana prohibition. The medical marijuana issue should be a no-brainer … I have seen way too freakin’ many sick people to judge what they should do to feel better.

“The marijuana traffickers arrested today claimed to sell the drug for medicinal value, but it’s clear that marijuana’s financial value was their true motivation,” said Timothy J. Landrum, Special Agent in Charge of the DEA in Los Angeles.Who the HELL does anything for free? Id like to see those DEA bastards go do their job with no compensation, just cause they think its the right thing to do – afterall, they think THEY walk the moral high ground, so if anyone would be willing to do what they do for free, it would be them, right?

Interesting article. I am hearing about drug paddlers, drug traffic getting busted. But still people some how manage to get hands on drugs and they are not worried about Passing a drug test, since detox drinks and capsules which are available in market.
