What an embarrassment to anyone in the DEA or public policy in general that this is still a thing.

Not sure how the DEA can consider itself a serious organization.

Hard to judge the DEAs effectiveness off something like this. You have very little insight on their actual effectiveness and workings on everything, yet your comment seems to summarize the entire organization off a completely biased political comment.

This is what we call a “brown M&M test”.

It’s a single data point that is indicative of an entire system.

The war on drugs failed and has caused more deaths than any drug.

And the criminalization of cannabis and psychedelics over the last several decades ought to be criminal - based in no reality of science.

The DEA is a failed organization and continues to be.
