Holder
gunning for pot smokers
Because we've found bin Laden and fixed the economy
because fuck the people and fuck the will of the people and who cares what they want?
Less than three weeks before California voters hit the polls, the Justice Department issued a preemptive message
concerning a ballot measure making worldwide headlines.
"Attorney General Eric Holder says the federal government will enforce its marijuana laws in California even if
the state's voters approve a ballot measure to legalize the drug," Pete Yost reports for the Whore AP.
He made the comments in a letter to former chiefs of the DEA.
The Whore AP obtained a copy of the letter, dated Wednesday.
"We will vigorously enforce the CSA against those individuals and organizations that possess, manufacture
or distribute marijuana for recreational use, even if such activities are permitted under state law," Holder wrote.
He also said that legalizing recreational marijuana in California would be a "significant impediment" to the
government's joint efforts with state and local law enforcement to target drug traffickers, who often distribute
marijuana alongside cocaine and other drugs. Holder said approval of the ballot measure would "significantly
undermine" efforts to keep California communities safe.
Pure horseshit from a Democrat who should know better.
You say, drug traffickers often distribute marijuana alongside cocaine and other drugs.
Right, that's why it should be legalized - so kids don't get introduced to harder drugs.
Nobody's asking Holder to set his hair on fire.
Nobody's asking him to get behind Prop 19 or to say, "Pot is harmless."
But how about you just shut the fuck up?
We were lied to by this president - many times, in fact, but why do they
have to have such a hardon for killing something that saves lives?
F-ing Democrats - they have NOTHING ELSE TO DO but screw with the little guy.
