Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Saturday, August 08, 2009

From the start, Kerlikowske - Seattle Police Chief who didn't fight the city's needle exchange program and low priority on marijuana possession enforcement, nor Washington state's MM laws -- sounded like anything but a drug reformer. Shortly after his installment as Drug Czar, he brashly announced that any type of drug decriminalization would be "waving the white flag" and that the "legalization vocabulary doesn't exist for me and it was made clear that it doesn't exist in President Obama's vocabulary."

The brothers are already beginning to think he is just another Uncle Tom for not issuing an Executive Order removing the 'taxes' on marijuana, and getting the BATF/DEA 'complex' out of the 'patch'...

Well he did stop the DEA raids on medical marijuana dispensaries. I didn't really expect anything more from him.

I sometimes suspect that presidents are afraid of the agencies that would lose funds, employees, etc. if major change came to our drug prohibition. I don't doubt that subtle threats could alter their views. There are many people who would lose plenty if we ever really did legalize drugs.
