Using California as an example

And according to the Sourcebook of Criminal Justice Statistics--1996, Bureau of Justice Statistics; Albany, NY: Hindelang Criminal Justice Research Center, 1997; p. 413, table 4.38, the DEA made 5,835 marijuana arrests in 1996.

A couple of arrests per state per week. The typical pothead is about as likely to hit a state lottery as to be arrested by the DEA.

I notice you still haven't answered tacticalogic's question: "And how many of those arrests [by local authorities] were made by state leo's assigned to, directed by, and is some cases paid for through one of the more than 200 DEA State and Local Task Force programs?"

I wonder why you're not answering this question.
