WAR ON DRUGS NEEDS NEW TARGET

It's nice to see that our government has its priorities in order.
Apparently there are insufficient funds to properly equip our soldiers
fighting in Iraq, and insufficient resources to catch importers of
what the government has determined to be dangerous illegal narcotics.

There are, however, plenty of resources available for the DEA to
harass medical marijuana outlets on the possibility that they may be
supplying marijuana to those who may not really need it. What a cruel
joke.
