I wonder if they’re going to start hitting states that have legalized cannabis.

Good job to the users who voted for Trump because he lied about supporting cannabis reform on the campaign trail, I guess.

I’d like to once again congratulate drugs for winning the war on drugs

Yeah … the DEA will be useful and needs expansion for the coming suppression of unwanted drugs:

• The world devastating fentanyl crisis
• The poisonous measles, covid, shingles vaccines distributed amongst naive americans.
• The demonic influence of cannabis.
• Abortion medication distributed to pregnant women in abortion clinics.

It’ll probably save Medicare a few dollars as well so all is good in maga’s world.

The war of drugs, and most other similar initiatives, mainly exist as tools for “law enforcement”. In reality , “law enforcement” is primarily aimed at the lower classes when they step out of line.

It’s extremely important to recognize that “laws” are enforced selectively. Those with power, money, and influence rarely suffer anything more than performative punishment, and only when not doing so might cause a substantial public backlash.

At the start of the war on drugs with Nixon, it was recognized (openly in conversations made public thanks to Watergate) as an extremely convenient way for cops to target and control blacks and anti-war protesters.

This continues today. Cop pulls you over and gets suspicious because you aren’t white… “Is that marijuana I smell? I’m going to have to search your vehicle to find or, maybe even plant, something I can use to charge you with a crime.” … “You don’t consent? That’s sounds really suspicious. What are you hiding? Nothing? Well then it’d be easier if you just consent. It’s really in your best interest.” … “Still no? Well, I hope you don’t have somewhere to be, I’m going to have to call a K-9 in while I take 30 minutes to write up your ticket…”
