Exactly. How is it that we required the Volstead Act for alcohol prohibition, but not something similar for MJ? Completely absurd.
These agents in this case are nothing but JBTs. There is no justification whatsoever to carry out normal arrests in this way. They should be named and shunned in their communities, if nothing else.
“but not something similar for MJ?”
Originally, cannabis was not banned, but they put a 200/oz tax on it. Which in 1934 or whenever, was most of a year’s pay.
Since it was not banned per se, no need to amend the Constitution. The “tax” issue morphed into a ban.
