Hypocrites and Liars: DEA Chief Claims Marijuana Legalization Is “Reckless and Irresponsible”

[Segami]

Notwithstanding the last three presidents of the United States admitting to smoking pot, and the last one, Pres. Obama, recently admitting that pot was on par with alcohol and cigarettes (despite fact that booze and cigs kill 10’s of thousands of people annually…and pot doesn’t), hired liars, like DEA official James L Capra, believe that legalized pot will create a nation of zombies, causing more societal chaos across this stressed-out, pill popping, booze swigging nation. This laughable assertion – that marijuana legalization is dangerous – came hot on the heels of court documents that were recently released, revealing the DEA to be smuggling billions in drugs with Mexico’s notorious Sinaloa cartel – “reckless and irresponsible” indeed.



In this Live Leak, YouTube video, the DEA’s Chief of Operations, Mr. James L Capra is quick to call the idea of marijuana legalization in the US “reckless and irresponsible,” Capra continued his diatribe of misinformation during a recent Senate hearing, claiming “it scares us.” By “Us” I can only assume he means the DEA, because poll after poll shows Americans embracing the idea of marijuana legalization. Ready to welcome it with open arms.



Cognizant of the fact that, if marijuana were to be legalized, a good number of his DEA’s thugs would be pounding pavement – out of work – looking for a new gig – thanks to marijuana prosecutions across this country accounting for a large portion of the DEA’s funding. Capra has an obvious vested interest in continuing his ‘Reefer Madness’ rant.



Pausing only long enough to emphasize that marijuana legalization is “a bad experiment… a bad, bad experiment,” the DEA chief stated…“every part of the world where this is been tried, it has failed time and time again.” Which, as we all know is complete and utter bullshit…and am quite sure the politicians and police of Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Cambodia, North Korea and now Uruguay would all disagree.





But let’s hear the propaganda straight from the Chief fear mongers mouth.

1. The inclusion of North Korea on this list is laughable

And regrettable ... It is ridiculous to presume this brutal regime really cares to offer it's citizens a decriminalized environment for marijuana while also keeping its population under the threat of real terror for the slightest infractions against the state ...

North Korea is not a friend of the pot enthusiast ...
