Now Naysayers and Loyal Serfs to king obama are surely going to follow this thread up with a few rebuttals. I will go ahead and address those in advance.
1. They will say that the President can't end the drug war without the help of congress. This is false.
2. They will say that Obama had no direct connection with this because its the DOJ and DEA acting alone. - True but the executive is ultimately responsible and can order it to cease.
3. They will try to claim some legitimacy for the crackdowns. Dispensaries acting outside of state law or something. -There is no justified 'cracking down' on bits of vegetation, people should not be robbed and harmed for bits of vegetation.
Also addresses #3 above: Half of all U.S. drug arrests are for marijuana -- more than 850,000 Americans were arrested for marijuana in 2010 alone, 88 percent for mere possession. Roughly twice as many people have been arressted for mere possesion in the past 3 years. This illustrates that it effects us all.
Pursing Pot Clinics
Obama (since 2009) 170 DEA Raids 61 Federal Indictments
Bush (All 8 Years) 40 DEA Raids 1 Federal Indictment
Increase since Obama: +400+% +610%
And not all cases are documented, The DEA and Police often doing sleezy "Smash and Grab operations" where they destroy the property and steal all the valuables.
(also to sort of address #3)...But Kris Hermes, spokesman for Americans for Safe Access, sees an escalation in federal raids. “Arrests have not been made every time there’s been a raid,” Hermes observed. “We call them ‘smash and grab.’ DEA agents come in, guns drawn — ski masks, even. They destroy the place. They take everything” — computers, money, plants.
Now go on lets hear your justification for the war on drugs stasis traitors of humanity looking out for only your own ego..Lets hear your justifcation for men in ski mask harming innocent people and enslaving them.
