Safe Business

Safe Business

The laws regarding marijuana possession will remain as they are for business reasons. It is a good and safe business for police, prosecution and defense lawyers, the courts and especially the corrections officers. Police need to make it appear that they are addressing the drug problem by arresting harmless pot heads. If they really wanted to rid America of illegal drugs State police, FBI and the DEA would have ended the wholesale importing of the drugs into the country by drug cartels in Central and South America, Asia and Europe. US Coast Guard vessels are stopping submarines loaded with cocaine from Colombia off the coast of Mexico and Southern California. Too many US officials earn money taking bribes. Lawyers and bankers get even more laundering money for the drug corporations. Voters elect politicians who get financial support from the drug dealers and their lawyers. Legalizing these harmful substances will reduce corruption, add tax revenue, increase quality and uniformity of the drugs, and stop the violence against ordinary citizens who are not part of the drug empires. Fat chance any of that happens among the current delightful politicians who run for office. They like it the way it is. Spineless candidates fear criticizing the FBI for wholesale murders of citizens who report crimes to them.
