Shut Down the DEA

Shut down the DEA. The past 40 years has proven that they are not effectively combating drug addiction, availability, violence, or crime.

Why is this important?

Everyday, instead of receiving the treatment we deserve, we are mistreated, bullied, abused, robbed, incarcerated, and sometimes killed by police fighting the war on drugs, from local police to federal agents at the DEA. Enough is Enough. We will never be able to eradicate drugs from this planet, it is not conceivable nor would most of us want to because these substances have beneficial, often medicinal value. The DEA's refusal to reschedule Marijuana, and their persistence in pursuing medical marijuana patients and their families is unacceptable and has damaged countless lives. Their draconian and unjust drug laws only target people of color and mentally ill drug addicts, and create black markets and organized crime. Stop wasting Billions of dollars a year on a war that you can not win. Let's put that Billions of dollars a year towards educating young people about drugs, without scare tactics, and treating addicts like the human beings that they are and help them to get the treatment they deserve. Kicking down our doors over a medicinal marijuana plant with a swat team is unacceptable and often dangerous behavior. Shut down the DEA now!
