War on Drugs, now targeting Indians
New York Times repoting:
“This is the first time I heard this - I don’t know how to pronounce - this meta-meta something,” said Hajira Ahmed, whose husband is in jail pending charges that he sold cold medicine and antifreeze at their convenience store on a winding road near the Tennessee border.”
It’s not about marijuana, but it is more proof that the war on drugs is a racist war and an assinine farce that locks up store owners for doing their jobs and for not understanding the process of cooking Meth.
“So when a government informant told store clerks that he needed the cold medicine, matches and camping fuel to “finish up a cook,” some of them said they figured he must have meant something about barbecue.
“This is not even slang language like ‘gonna,’ ‘wanna,’ ” said Malvika Patel, who spent three days in jail before being cleared this month. ” ‘Cook’ is very clear; it means food.” And in this context, she said, some of the items the government wants stores to monitor would not set off any alarms. “When I do barbecue, I have four families. I never have enough aluminum foil.” .
God bless America.
