My War on the Federal War on Marijuana

via the Kelley Vlahos podcast:

“The U. S. government was spraying Paraquat –  poison – On marijuana crops abroad and some of that marijuana was imported in the U. S. and poisoned people here. Then the government started spraying the marijuana crops in the national parks and other places. And, it was similar to what happened in Prohibition, the later period of Prohibition, especially in New York City. There was a decision that was better to poison anybody who drank alcohol and killed them than to let them violate The law it it’s interesting how the paraquat and other things the drug spraying stuff became Sanctified I was down in Guatemala in 1992 Doing some speeches down there and talked to some farmers and businessmen about how the DEA was terrorizing people with their anti drug stuff, with seizures, shooting down planes.

I came back and wrote about it for the Washington Times, and I was really happy when the chief of the DEA publicly condemned my article. I said, okay, we’ll add him to the list.”
