I dunno but I kinda agree that we should oppose cocaine, methamphetamine, and heroin distribution.

There are better ways. I will never understand law enforcement's lover affair with military style gear and tactics. I'm pretty sure it's because they just want to look cool and play soldier. With the amount of money they spend on all that training it's a wonder they ever make mistakes. But they do, because they are retarded.
And I'm willing to bet my paycheck that they would never use those high speed SWAT teams against a house that they knew was full of heavily armed men with real intent to fight back. You know why? Because they are pussies.
No, they use those bullshite tactics against old people and families. Why? So they can justify all the money they spend and continue to by cool gear and training to compensate for their small dicks.

Technically what they did was legal in today's world
But that doesnt make it right. Slavery and rape were both legal at one point in America.

Perhaps we should. But drugs will always be around. Always. They have been here since the beginning of time and they arent going away. People will always find ways to get high. It is more important to try and rehabilitate drug addicts and get them to become productive members of society than it is to throw every single person who has had a bad life or made a questionable decision into jail all but guaranteeing that they remain unproductive drug addicts.
And giving the federal government's agents the ability to legally SWAT raid a private residence for a tiny marijuana infraction which arguably should be legal anyway is horribly wrong and a completely abandonment of many of the core principles foe which this country and government were founded.
The consistent and systematic ingraining of military tactics and shoot first act later mentality in our local and state and federal police force is a horrible slippery slope which the citizens are being effected by more and more everyday.
Prohibition gave rise to some of the most powerful gangs and gang leaders in this country's history. The war on drugs is doing the same thing.
Decriminalizing the use of these drugs takes the power away from those gang leaders and puts more resources towards curbing the distribution rather than rounding up the addicts.

Then maybe they shouldn't be wasting time surveilling gardening stores, and going through the customers trash.
