Here's one for you. https://www.drugwarfacts.org/cms/Crim....xbKlhapd.dpbs (Arrests by DEA, 2009, by Gender and Race/Ethnicity) "Most suspects arrested by the DEA for drug violations were male (86%). Three in 10 male suspects were arrested for cocaine powder, followed by marijuana (25%) and methamphetamine (15%) offenses. In 2009, females accounted for 14% of all DEA drug arrests and 20% of all methamphetamine arrests. About 2 in 10 (22%) females arrested by the DEA for drug violations were arrested for methamphetamine, followed by cocaine powder (21%) and marijuana (20%) offenses. "Half of all suspects arrested by the DEA were age 31 or younger. Hispanic suspects constituted 46% of arrestees, followed by white and black suspects (26% each). Hispanic suspects made up more than half of arrests for cocaine powder (55%) and marijuana (52%) offenses and nearly half of arrests involving opiates (49%). Three-quarters (75%) of crack cocaine suspects were black, and less than half of all methamphetamine suspects were white (41%)." - See more at: https://www.drugwarfacts.org/cms/Crim....xbKlhapd.dpuf (Arrests by DEA, 2009, by Substance) "The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) arrested 29,896 suspects for drug offenses in 2009, a nearly 10% increase from 27,235 arrests in 2008. "Suspects arrested for offenses involving cocaine powder and crack cocaine (11,361) accounted for 38% of all suspects arrested by the DEA in 2009 (table 2). Twenty-eight percent of suspects were arrested for offenses involving cocaine powder (8,491), and 10% were arrested for crack cocaine (2,870). Crack cocaine arrests declined by 12% from the 3,254 reported in 2008 (not shown in table). The remaining suspects were arrested for marijuana (7,294), methamphetamine (4,701), and for opiates (2,975)." - See more at: https://www.drugwarfacts.org/cms/Crim....xbKlhapd.dpuf Why do you insist the DEA doesn't arrest people for weed?

You concede and you got educated and schooled and that's a good thing.
Because the DEA are not the one's riding around in cop cars arresting people and putting them in the system. Also when your probation officer does a raid on you after you have pissed dirty as they like to say, they bring the local PD with them not the DEA. The local judge then sentences you federal law or not their still gonna do it. They (the states) have been doing the prohibition thing for so long they now think it's part of society and ok and their jobs depend on it. State law is federal law, they are one in the same. |

I'm fully aware of how the entire system works. And Federal Law supersedes State Law. It's called the Supremacy Clause. We're done here.

Ok Dan, whatever.
We are not truly done until the system has been slayed. Then and then will peace be had. Then we are done Dan, then we are, then we are. |

We can disagree about Anslingers links to Big Pharma. We can disagree about the DEA too. We don't need to get into a dick waving contest over it. Lets leave it at that, because we are getting off topic and it's not productive, or fair to the OP and the other people in the thread. Fair enough?

Great to see this start up, even though it will obviously most likely not pass. Makes me curious if Virginia is about to legalize in some form, I'd love to get a hold of some of their soil.
