“At a time when voters and their elected officials nationwide are re-evaluating state and federal marijuana policies, it is inconceivable that government agencies are unwilling to provide data on the estimated costs and scope of federal marijuana prohibition in America.”
Does anyone else see the irony in clandestine growers digging up the earth to plant some cannabis, only to have sheriff’s deputies pull it up and dig up more earth to bury it?
We’ve reported previously about the futility of CAMP and other marijuana eradication programs. Retired Sheriff Cobine admits that 4.5 million plants is just a tiny percentage, which suggests to us there are hundreds of millions of cannabis plants being grown in California.
Imagine if they weren’t “keeping a lid on it”!
Who among us doesn’t like to brag after a job well done? It’s human nature, right?
I mean, even the DEA enjoys boasting about their so-called ‘accomplishments.’ They even have their own (taxpayer funded) museum.
