Cops to California Voters: Legalize It! | Criminal Justice | Change.org
The letter's release comes after all nine former heads of the Drug Enforcement Agency -- that is, the former heads of a bureaucracy with a vested interested in maintaining costly drug prohibition, regardless of its failure -- wrote Attorney General Eric Holder last month expressing "grave concern" about Proposition 19 and asking him to suppress the will of California voters should they embrace legalization. (See Firedoglake founder Jane Hamsher's response).
-----------------------------------
Just more proof the federal government does NOT cater to the will of
the citizens. They have their own agenda and the voters aren't a part
of it.
This looks like legalizing it in a big way and not just medicinal. Possibly
so that any adult can buy it like at a smoke shop and simply pay tax.
Will generate billions in revenue, stimulate the economy in California
and reduce crime. Then, it should be an obvious ok for growing hemp
for industrial use there - another massive multi-billion dollar industry
waiting to happen.
Here is a response against the DEA agents that don't respect the
constitution.

And a quote from Mexico's National Security Adviser:
"Mexico’s National Security Adviser Alejandro Poire responded, saying that the drug cartels are “nourished by the enormous, gigantic demand for drugs in the United States.” That demand is something that the nine DEA chiefs, and their failed drug war, have done nothing to diminish."
Seems to be common sense that changing the source from illegal drug
cartels in Mexico to legal suppliers in California will simply take away much
of the reason for the cartels to exist and take away a major portion of
their funding.
Of course the DEA thrives on criminal activity and want as much as possible
so it legitimizes their own existence.

, it should be legal as its the ONLY safe MEDICINE /stimulant in the world
. Should be legal in PRINCIPLE. Lets not forget its the highest grossing bio mass crop, that's why DuPont and the petrochemical industry conspired to make it illegal, the phony government sponsored medical and refer madness stuff is all propaganda and part of the suppression.
