Well, we have to make sure Barry can still get his smoke on.

Drugging the population makes stripping their liberty's all the easier.

I am glad they are doing this. They busted a guy named Charlie Lynch who was operating one of these with the full knowledge and approval of the town he lived in, except the Sheriff, who talked the DEA into shutting it down.

But the bad part was when they tried him in Federal court, he was not able to put up any kind of defense. The jurors did not even know he had an approved clinic, and the prosecutors said he walked around with a backpack selling his weed on the streets. They lied their asses off.

He was convicted in a trial that reminds me of the one they had in the Soviet Union when our U2 pilot was shot down. It was totally a showtrial with not even a remote connection to justice.

That is when I realized there was a reason our Founding Fathers did not want the federalization of crime, mainly because there is absolutely no accountability at the Federal level for the actions of the Justice Department.

Actually, I would like to see the DEA stop their *war on pain meds* where doctors are afraid to prescribe those meds for conditions that need pain treatment — because the DEA will sue the doctors.

Now, these are medical doctors, doing their practice with their patients and not dealing illegal drugs, but treating the condition of the patient. It’s been a problem for a while, with many doctors. I’ve dealt with it with my dad on some of pain meds with his doctor, too, before he died.

The doctors can’t treat because of insurance companies and because of the government and because of the DEA (at various times and for various things).

Before they halt the raids they might try the White House and some of the Congressional offices.

So let's see...you would therefore protect liberty by waging an unconstitutional all-out Drug War? How Orwellian van you get?

While I’m thrilled to see Mr. Holder say that he might actually respect the rights of the States on this one issue, I surely wish he would be a lil more consistent, ya know?

What about abortion? Education? Helping the poor & disabled (which includes me)? Health care? & on & on & on.......

I wonder if Joe Biden is pissed about this....after all, I’ve heard hat he was one of the main architects of the Drug War when it started back in ‘73 or so.
