DEA Tries to Transcend Enforcement Role
The DEA has responded to the marijuana initiative that will be present on this November’s Colorado state ballot (see here) by raising upwards of $10,000 and looking for a political campaign manager assist in its efforts to defeat the bill.
So much for the executive branch of government not involving itself in legislative affairs (the DEA’s stance has always been that it “just enforces the laws”). The DEA claims that the 10 grand is not from public tax revenue but, in any case, an independent investigation should be conducted, to say the least. Once again, one wonders what motivates the committment to something that is such an abject failure.
