What a tool !!! >:(
Aside from the health debate over legalizing marijuana, Garrison Courtney, spokesman for the Drug Enforcement Agency, says groups that advocate its taxation sometimes paint too rosy a picture.
"It's still a drug," Courtney says. "Just because it's a good cash crop doesn't mean you should legalize and tax it."
"It's not these cute mom-and-pop bong shops anymore," Courtney continued. "It's violent drug-trafficking groups that are doing all these grows."
Local marijuana growers, he says, are the tentacles of international drug-trafficking organizations that bring weapons, violence and a slew of other drugs into the market.
"You can't tax a Mexican drug trafficking group," Courtney explains. "That's the side a lot of people don't focus on."
This DEA dude just defeated his own cause. He rants about the criminal element.....well...if it was legal that would dissapear for the most part. I mean...c'mon...there are not any underground tobacco grow-ops going on by the cartel. I bet he is a Christian too.
