[He Rides A White Horse]

Comments, insights welcome. I would like to hear various opinions.

In Lansing Michigan, a “medical” marijuana clinic has been handing out free pot to people who register to vote.

I wonder what would happen if a pharmacist decided to give out oxycontin to people who register to vote.

So, is what you’re saying is that we should legalize drugs, or just get rid of big government ‘War on Drugs’ agencies that so far made no impact whatsoever?

[UCANSEE2]

There is no war ON drugs. There is only the ‘appearance of a war’.

The appearance is conducted for the mollification of the public, and for an excuse to demand more taxpayer money.

The drug cartels run through a lot of money, in different denominations, which must be converted. The bankers and the politicians are in league with worldwide organized crime and drug trafficking, because of the money.

That is the reason why the border security is as lax as it is. It is to ensure that there is are ‘controlled’ areas where drugs and illegals can pass. By ‘controlled’, I mean controlled by the cartels.

The drug trade is one of the largest contributors to politicians, on both sides of the border.

The War on Murder and Rape has also failed.

Legalize it?

“Medical Marijuana” is a joke. It’s not even treated like medicine in those states. I have never seen a doctor employed by a pharmacy and only paid if he hands out prescriptions for _________. That just violates any idea of ethics in “medicine”.

That pretty much sums up my position as well. It is important to note that once a government organization gains a power from the citizenry, they NEVER voluntarily relinquish it.

The purpose of the drug war is to destroy the Constitution. And you are right, the government and politicians make a ton of money off the drug war. The only ones they are “fighting” are their competitors.

[Mr. Bird]

The war on drugs is being waged by agents with guns, rather than moms with frying pans. I do not use drugs now, but I most certainly was a recreational user back in the day (pre-career). The market forces of a father's backhand and a requirement to be coherent on the job were all it took for me to dismiss drugs as an unnecessary risk. I support private mechanisms such as employer drug testing (the company's policy choice) over federal intervention. I am ok with state regulation of drug use.

Like your username. How frequently do you ride?? Careful....

Documents: Feds allegedly allowed Sinaloa cartel to move cocaine into U.S. for information

Snip - U.S. federal agents allegedly allowed the Sinaloa drug cartel to traffic several tons of cocaine into the United States in exchange for information about rival cartels, according to court documents filed in a U.S. federal court. -Snip

Worse than the Gunrunner scandal, the feds have allowed TONS of cocaine into the country (Chicago Area!!!) in exchange for information on rival cartels. This corruption extends to the highest level of our government.

In the wake of Ramos and Compean, punished by “my good friend” Johnny Sutton for interfering with Aldrete Davila and the Mexican government, we have Border Patrol Agent JESUS DIAZ.

Welcome to the FreeAgentDiaz.com webpage hosted by the Law Enforcement Officers Advocates Council.

LEOAC is the sole entity legally authorized by Jesus and Diana Diaz to represent them. We are the best source of information when it comes to bad government persecutions by way of prosecutions in what we call the "War on Law Enforcement". The Diaz case has continued a pattern that goes back as far as the Clinton Administration.

The rule is:

Do not interfere with the drug trade.

Former U.S. Customs Officer JOHN CARMAN was framed and held in Federal prison from Fall 2007 until May 2011. He was a whistleblower on Customs corruption regarding the drug trade:

2007 Letter to House Judiciary re John Carman

The following letter to the House Judiciary Committee was written by an attorney that witnessed the criminal trail by Department of Justice personnel against former U.S. Customs agent John Carman, who had been exposing corruption in upper management through his Internet site, www.customscorruption.com.

I sent a fax of this to Senate Judiciary, namely Grassley, after speaking with his staff person at the committee on the eve of its next F & F hearing.

The original was sent to Grassley and others in 2007, apparently without effect.

The border is open for business.

Afghanistan's poppy crop is apparently on the rebound.

The Karzai brother accused of being a CIA tool and a druglord was assassinated.

ATF arms the drug cartels while DEA busts the little meth lab here, the little pot op there.

USG is a Chamber of Commerce for large dealers.

There is just. So much. Money.

A new team in DC could do the Hercules Augean Stables Servicemaster cleaning that town needs.
