My two cents for the DEA

Post Reply New Topic

If the Federal government were to follow the letter of the law by shutting down marijuana dispensaries even though local and state laws allow them to be open and in business, should the DEA go into counties that don't serve alcohol that are so-called dry counties? You know where Jack Daniels is distilled? It's in Moore County, Tennessee, a dry county. Since the abolishment of the Eighteenth amendment in 1933 (aka prohibition), you'd think that alcoholic beverages would be allowed everywhere the First amendment is exercised.

I think the DEA should go in and bust some heads in those dry counties and set up some bars so people can go in and wet their whistle. You know, if they're going to be dicks about shutting down pot dispensaries.

I've got an idea also.

Wall up our southern border.

Apart from Appalachia there would be a 50-80 percent reduction in illegal drugs entering our country.

"In 2005, four out of five drug arrests were for possession and one out of five were for sales"
"Changes in drug policy have had the single greatest impact on criminal justice policy"

Okay so we've got about one percent of our population in prison for drug related charges. Lets say that gets reduced by only 35% over the next 15 years by shooting anyone who comes across our border.

" In 2006, states spent an estimated $2 billion on prison construction, three times the amount they were spending fifteen years earlier. The combined expenditures of local governments, state governments, and the federal government for law enforcement and corrections total over $200 billion annually."

An individual sentenced to five years for a $300 theft costs the public more than $100,000. The cost of a life term averages $1.5 million.

States are spending more money on prisons than education. Over the course of the last 20 years, the amount of money spent on prisons was increased by 570% while that spent on elementary and secondary education was increased by only 33%"


Alcohol abolitionists are essentially responsible to the mass spread of mainstream drugs in the US.


As if life doesn't suck enough. If you can't have your alcohol it's not worth living sometimes.

Why not just legalise the drugs? You make the criminals and the dea obsolete in one step. Alcohol prohibtion has nothing at all to do with the spread of drugs apart from it being analogous. It's a simple fact that a good proportion of people will always want drugs for whatever reason (the same reason people want alcohol usually but not everyone gets on with alcohol), if the mexican border was walled up do you seriously think there would be no other way of getting drugs and immigrants in to your country? There are other methods of transport than road, i believe you coast lines are much longer than the border with mexico for example.

It's prohibtion that puts people in prison not drugs. The prisons only make money when they're full and what better way to fill them than with easily catchable pot heads.

The war on drugs is a war on people.

I'm not sure but I'm really hoping the stuff about shooting people at the border and and erecting walls is a joke?

It began to stabilize the economic footholds and promoted further drug use by a population who couldn't get out of their mind in any other way. After the SS came after bootleggers, they turned to growing pot, opium, etc.



The point is to keep illegal ANYTHING out of the country including people. I'm up for shooting them. Crossings should be seen as a willful act of economic war against our nation.

The waters are very well controlled compared to very sparsely populated land that you can WALK across.


Buddy. Prisons dont MAKE money at ALL. There is absolutely no economic benefit to having people in prison. It costs too much to clothe, feed, maintain, hospitalize..etc people. They're basically getting a free ride.
In fact our country would be better off If prisoners contributed to our GDP.

The war on drugs doesn't exist outside of your mind.
