No. Future "raids" should be conducted after performing surveillance on the house, and if it's discovered the sole occupant is a 92-year old woman, they should be conducted by uniformed officers who knock on the door, smile, and say "Good afternoon, Ma'm! Mind if we take a look around?", instead of going in like f$%king SEAL Team Six.

I'm on your side, FRiend. My last question was sarcastic. If there was ever a war that could be described as a "quagmire," the war on drugs is it.

Aye, that it is. The cure is becoming worse than the disease. However bad drugs are for society, government thuggery is worse.

There is no such thing as a war on drugs. You cannot wage war on inanimate objects. The war they are waging is on Americans who use drugs. The tactics they adopt prove that.
The actions they display are despicable. Perhaps for a meth lab run by a gang of known criminals justifiable but to establish that would require some surveillance I would think.
And to use this same tactic on someone who smokes a little weed totally uncalled for but there would be no difference.
I have often pondered why our Government feels it should be legal for a woman to have control over a life and can take that life in an instant. Yet we have no control on the means of relaxation or comfort for our own bodies. Even those addicted to stronger drugs may be killing themselves but over a longer period of time. Not instantly. Our Government needs to do a serious reality check and recognize the HYPOCRASY of their own existence.
