I really thought they already were being forced, but I think you're right.
Since they originally brought this subject up in the media months ago, and then to simply decline approval, it makes me wonder why would they bring it up in the first place? Why not let this subject remain buried?
There has got to be more going on here than we know...
Could it be that rich marijuana proponents weren't ready to take over?
How about Obama. Where's his fingers in this?
We know a billionaire propoter is funding the California ballot measure... He hopes to corner the market
There's a beaver in the woodpile somewhere and I don't think it's the dea's fault...
If mj went away tomorrow it wouldn't affect the dea in any substantial fashion... There are plenty of other drug crimes..enough to fill their mission fully..so all the blather about them being jack booted thugs is false. They won't lose any funding..they won't lose any personnel..if anything federal legalization of mj would result in a funding stream to them..
Nope. This has human hands and greed all over it. But not enforcement
People keep talking about citizens being targeted for small amounts of marijuana... Bunk I say.. unless there is other criminality. In our case we don't target under 100 plants ... Unless there is other criminality.. that's reality. In the case of today's garden takedown ( one a day that's all we ask)... The plants were 12 feet tall..kind of obvious in a residential neighborhood... And the final count was over 100
Snitched out by neighbors tired of the skunk smell and dirtbags driving up all night and day
But reefer paranoia about reefer madness strikes deep in the paranoia created by drug use.
Just like during Prohibition asking Eliot Ness if booze should be legalized. Why would a government agency support ANYTHING that would reduce its budget? Funny how we are allowing DEA to make these decisions.
For the fourth consecutive time, the Drug Enforcement Administration has denied a petition to lessen federal restrictions on the use of marijuana.
While recreational marijuana use is legal in four states and D.C., and medical applications of the drug have been approved in many more, under federal law, it remains a Schedule 1 controlled substance, which means it's considered to have "no currently accepted medical use" and a "high potential for abuse."
The gap between permissive state laws and a restrictive federal policy has become increasingly untenable in the minds of many doctors, patients, researchers, business owners and legislators.
Here we go again.. a 5th of the country nearly has it legalized . Thousands use it for medical reasons, and the super crooked DEA says no again.
