I don't smoke marijuana or do any drugs, but I do pay taxes and I definitely think the DEA is a huge waste of our tax dollars. The DEA consists of mostly power-hungry,insecure pig-headed individuals who probably feel inferior within themselves and need this power to feel good about themselves. It's pathetic! Does anybody think their power will be greatly reduced or totally abolished OR will they just continue grow and flourish and be an annoyance to Americans. Hopefully, these idiots will eventually have the brains to distinguish real criminals from hardworking individuals who personally prefer a joint to a beer or martini.

This is a small, federally funded drug task force made up of state, federal and local officers. They were actually the task force of the year last year. That's sad. The helicopter is an asset of the Washington Air National Guard. I think it is an incredible embarrassment and a waste. I would never have told the paper if I had wasted that much money (about $3500 and hour) for 20 pathetic plants. What a joke. I live in the county where this occurred, and just so happen to know some of the officers that participated. Not impressive on any level. FACTs for you:

Isn't he the real terrorist it is amazing we have the most powerful military and we are waisting valuable resources going after pot smokers. I actually have a blood problem that is bad for my liver but in modern day America I am suppose to drink it is the social thing to do.

"THEY" like making money off of your misery and shame! Don't you see that the drug war gives "THEM" a legal pretext to invade your home, take you prisoner, put you to work in prison for a dime on the dollar, steal your possessions, seize all of your assets, and examine your piss.....and get paid to do it. Seeing as homosexuality and communism are out as pretexts to do these things, how else are they going to be able to justify murder, robbery, and extortion???

Depending on size and variety of those twenty plants, we all know they could have easily financed the 5 day operation twice or more. We all know where the DEA gets its real funding. Northern California. Tax Money?

Otherwise, pot would be legal by now. It's all a Catch 22 though, right. The DEA are simply billion dollar stormtoopers. They care about arrests, seizures, and profit. That's it, and rely heavily on drug cartels to keep things going in circles. If they justify the agency has a reason to spend taxpayer money by capturing 20 pot plants, well... that's just more money for budget next year amidst their successful illusions. Either that, or agents were complete bored and decided to take the chopper out for a spin. All that while more citizens become addicted to worse drugs - primarily due to lack of federal funds for nationwide education, prevention, and rehabilitation. Cannabis is the safer choice. Just decriminalize, and end this stupid lie. The DEA doesn’t care about costs necessarily, that’s too obivious. Otherwise, pot would be legal by now. It’s all a Catch 22 though, right.
