Why would any organization fighting for funding be inclined to undermine their reason for existing? And why would any rational person be interested in what they have to say about a topic that is well outside their area of expertise (medicine)?

- arcanon 5y agoThe bureaucracy kills a lot of idiotic ideas from the popularity contests that promise the world but break the bank, though.

- robbedpeter 5y agoOrganization, sure, but the question is better posed to the humans in that organization. So, why would DEA agents want to undermine their agency's funding? Ethics. Morality. The desire to not be a horrible excuse for a human being inflicting needless pain and suffering and destroying the lives of the people their agency is ostensibly charged with serving. Not perpetuating the horrible status quo that's corrupted the spirit of their mission and accepting the will of the people.

I knew some heavy users and may be biased because of this, but there are reports of similar cases. Weed isn't the drug that your hippy parents smoked in the 60s anymore. Years of selective growing increased psychoactive substances to insane levels never found in the plant previously. It was also the logistical problem created by prohibition that made this process beneficial. Sure, people would have done this anyway for the drug to become more potent, but I believe free availability would have countered this development. Of course even with its potency it is still one of the softer drug. Alcohol can be just as destructive.
