5. But the DEA won't
Mon Dec 19, 2011, 01:54 PM

Fact is the DEA has had many opportunities to change this..
Cannabis is the Big Cash Cow for these Guys as well as local Police departmets..
This hedging the laws in favor of Law Enforcement to battle Drugs has had the opposite effect..
Its Bonuses around for LEOs when forfeitures are in this mix..
It is the Motivator for LEOs to go and make the easiest Busts they could possibly get..
More arrests means more pay raises and Bonuses...

Now let me add that the DEA is so big know but uses 80% of its entire work force to go after and eradicate Cannabis and arrest Americans..
Now also international and growing..
All to go after Cannabis...

No end of this crap in site either..
Even with the facts right in their Faces...
This Drug War is not based on truth..
Its to build a bigger Badder DEA that reaches every inch on the face of the Earth..
With the Power to bypass the rights of the People..
NO due Process of Law.....
