Marijuana - National Drug Threat Assessment 2006

Asian criminal groups3 are expanding their position relative to wholesale distribution of Canada-produced, high potency marijuana in every region of the country. In fact, increasing distribution of high potency marijuana by Asian criminal groups as well as expansion of domestic high potency marijuana production appears to be significantly raising the average potency of marijuana in U.S. drug markets, elevating the threat posed by the drug.

High potency marijuana? Uh oh. Excuse me while I eat my McDonalds hamburger and take a shot of JD. It’s a good thing we’ve got the US government making sure we stay healthy.

The amount of marijuana available to domestic drug markets appears to be increasing slightly. This increase, coupled with decreasing demand for the drug, will quite likely result in lower prices in the near term as marijuana traffickers attempt to expand their customer base.

“The amount of marijuana available to domestic drug markets appears to be increasing slightly,”? But the DEA’S own information states that farms span 5,800 hectares this year, a 67% increase since 2000’s 3,900. Estimated yields have also risen from 7,000 metric tonnes to 10,440, also a 67% increase. That may seem slight to a gang of well organized idiots, but most of us would consider it substantial. Plus, we all know 98% of the shit they’re busting and seizing is wild, impotent cannabis anyway. We also know the demand argument is bullshit. In fact, despite the fact that teen use is down (which is a good thing by anyone’s standards) Adult use has gone up from 2.7% to 4.4% between 2002 and 2005. So the kids are laying off while their parents, who have much more money to spend, are lighting up.

Mexican DTOs and criminal groups have significantly reinvigorated their marijuana production efforts in Mexico after a period of reduced rainfall limited production from 2000 through 2002.

Well, we all knew what this had to lead up to. Boys, you’ve got Asians and Mexicans cashing in on a crop you could otherwise have control of - tax free. This is going on under your noses, and guess what? Despite your best efforts, the War on Drugs, in all its idealistic glory, is failing. You can’t fight these people with morality. In fact, what IS morality? It’s a set of values and customs laid on you by your forefathers in hopes of instilling some form of social control. We’ve all bought and paid for the reefer madness bullshit long enough. It’s time we all cashed in.

Dear US Government. Remember when you legalized liquor because you were sick of Irish Catholic immigrants and enlightened Blacks cashing in on alcohol prohibition? If the Republican Party is as conservative as they say they are, let’s keep things the way they were - in the early 1930s. You know, before pot was made illegal because it could make a black man look at a white woman twice. Love, Chad.
