Decriminalize marijuana while she prosecuted citizens for possession of marijuana, then laughed about smoking marijuana when she was younger.

DEA Staffing and Appropriations

Fiscal Year - 2019

Total Employees
(Positions)

Special Agents

Support Staff

Budget
($ in Billions)

2019 -$3.136

Folks this is 3.13 Ba ba BILLION dollars appropriated for DEA in FY 2019

Add to that huge sum of money the costs of policing, street/drug gang violence, human suffering, peripheral / related crime, plus costs to prosecute and imprison drug offenders.
I think it would be a good guess to say we spend upwards of 10 billion dollars annually on drug interdiction and enforcement. What a waste!

I submit that like the end of Prohibition (alcohol) de-criminalization of weed and other drugs will remove the profit motive for illegal drug trafficking. IMHO this would all but completely eliminate the "drug cartels" as well and by extension would greatly mitigate if not eliminate the bloody violence associated with the cartels.

American street gangs will have to find other ways to make money because legalization completely eliminated profiteering in the illicit drug trade.

Here is another shocking bit of data:

The total budget of the DEA from 1972 to 2014, according to the agency website, was $50.6 billion. The agency had 11,055 employees in 2014. For the year 2014 the average cost per arrest made was $97,325 - and I don't think this figure includes things like court costs, costs for incarceration etc.

Pot smells so bad that a wacky must be so desperate, sick and suicidal to smoke the foul trash. The left loves it though as they can brainwash youth.

I assure you use of "weed" is NOT exclusive to lefties.

@iThink Yes, that is the problem!

Wise heads know that Pot is a leftist tool, the frontal lobotomy of the 1950s.

this would be the only thing with which I would agree coming out of K Harris. In fact I would be glad to see de-criminlaization of all recreational use of "drugs".
Of course if or when that ever happened (not any time soon) I would insist that we also eliminate DEA and all other Gov't drug interdiction organizations.

Treat it like alcohol! Tax it; regulate it...

You want legalized "recreational drugs", it is REAL easy, "OUTLAW WELFARE", THEN ALL DRUGS COULD BE LEGALIZED!!!!
Drugs, including alcohol, become a self-correcting problem, when we get back to the idea of, "if you don't work, you don't eat"!!!!

Why? 1. Your a user? New to the game? Not too smart?

@johnlondon I'm not a user - I am not new to anything - and that wasn't nice! LOL

About time.

@KanjaG Do you mean to tell me a right-wing politician was hypocritical? Perish the thought!

Ah, her stock options in Monsanto/Bayern must have been approved. That is the only reason besides trying to curry votes with folks have a good point that it should be legal but most don't know what they are getting is not natural plant but a frankenstien with some interesting issues with physiological addiction.

At least it's a good flip flop. Marijuana needs to be legal.

and that is how every corrupt government has come to power is by legalizing pot! i am from Canada and it's worse now than if they would just decriminalize it! right now they can charge you for driving under the influence of when they legalize it. if they decriminalize it that wouldn't apply!

@1patriot you should be charged for driving under the influence, no different than alcohol. What's the problem?

@KanjaG true, but we should be able to applaud people for evolving and changing their minds on issues, such as when Obama decided marriage equality was important, and when Trump became pro-life.

@KanjaG yeah, unfortunately that is a reality. There are people still in prison for minor pot charges in places where it is now legal. Hopefully it will lead to pardons for everyone previously prosecuted for pot.

@JacksonNought i disagree it does not impair you like alcohol and we have people smoking driving for the last 40 years .....i how ever don't smoke it but have friends that do and have....
