The ultimate goal is total drug legalization, including heroin. The markets are flooded with heroin so pure it can be snorted and supplies so large, it is cheaper to get than beer.
There is no War on Drugs.
What America isn’t understanding is that this is social engineering at it’s finest. Soros, who laundered money for the cartels, has been pushing drug legalization, including heroin since the 90’s.

The link between drugs and crime, including violent crime, would be hard to overstate in Chicago. Eighty-six percent of adult males arrested in Chicago last year tested positive for drug use. Chicago, with a population of 2.7 million, had 506 murders in 2012, the highest per capita among the four most populous U.S. cities.

It is Soros’ $Billions in influence peddling, and lobbying, that have led people to believe that the war on drugs was useless. Bottom line, this crap wasn’t around when I was growing up in the drug capital of the world -Miami, in the 80’s and 90’s. There was cocaine, and since there really was a war on drugs, it was too expensive for curious kids.
I would guess that Administrator Leonhart will not have a long future with the Obama Regime.
“seemingly imply that everything she’s done over the last 30 years was a complete waste of time.”
It was a complete waste of time, money, resources, and did immeasurable damage to the Constitution. Flipping burgers for 30 years would have contributed more to society.
The problem is federal police; FBI, DEA, BLM, ATF, and a bunch of other agencies like education that have their own little SWAT teams. I want all these Federal agencies to go away; they are the federal domestic police force.
Let’s get back to federalism and let the states decide on drug laws.
The CIA as been smuggling drugs into the US for years. Afghanistan’s production of opium based drugs has skyrocketed under US protection of the poppy fields. The DEA has worked with big time Mexican drug lords. The US government is horribly corrupt and it’s only getting worse.
The reason 0bama want to reduce drug sentences is that he needs more of his people out of prison to vote for the Dims.
Drug use = drug addiction
Drug addiction = job lose
Job lose = welfare
Welfare = Government dependence
Government dependence = Democrat voters
Are there any questions?
