"We're not targeting or criticizing any segment of our population," said Maine Drug Enforcement Agency Supervisor Gerry Baril. "But the influx of immigrants from the East African region seems to be directly correlated to the availability of the drug."

A couple of weeks ago the Press Herald was praising the next wave of Somalis for the added diversity that they would be providing to the state. Yup, they are getting it.

Well now! We can't have that! Guess we're going to have to bust down a few more doors, bust a few heads, and put a stop to this nonsense. </sarcasm off

Because khat is not listed on Maine statutes as a scheduled drug, it is technically not illegal in the state. But anyone caught trafficking in khat or using it will face federal charges, drug agents said.

How can you be prosecuted for not breaking any laws? Sounds ridiculous to me.

750 Somalis to Portland, Maine in ONE YEAR? What's going on here?

[Liberal Classic]

Question. Is khat already scheduled, or is there a specific federal law against it as with Gamma Hydroxy-butyrate?

Oh Goody!!!

Another drug for us to go after. Better order up some more MP-10s and a few dozen stun gernades.

What? It's not illegal yet? Oh, don't worry. Who cares what the state law says. We're Feds and we can get away with stomping them anyhow.

The "War on Drugs" (read here War on "Citizen's Rights") continues...

"In Lewiston, where more than 750 Somali immigrants have come to live in the past year, police are getting educated."

Diversity marches on...

This is the stuff that was given to the AK47 carrying thugs that terrorized Somalia and stole all the food being shipped to starving families.

When you're high, you kill and don't care. As seen in Black Hawk Down, however, your judgement isn't too good, such as trying to storm REAL men who are sober and defending themselves.

Considering all the meth in the midwest, wonder why they bother to import the stuff.

1,000 Somalians Moving to Maine ---- City council statement, Lewiston, ME ---- it's getting crazy....
