Dear Everyone;
We have had various discussion at one time or another about legalizing pot and repealing the war on drugs and today stopping the DEA from raiding a medical pot store and getting stuck with a pot store as a next door neighbor.
All discussions about legalizing pot and repealing the war on drugs are fruitless.
WHY?
Think about these impediments to legalization or repeal:
1. Finding new jobs for the cops who fight the drug wars.
2. Finding new jobs for all those 22,000 (!) DEA government employees.
3. Finding new jobs for the prison guards
4. Finding new jobs for all those prison administrators.
5. Finding new jobs for all other prison employees.
6.. Finding new jobs for the attorneys who prosecute.
7. Finding new jobs for the attorneys who defend.
8. Finding new jobs for the judges who hear those trials.
8. Finding a new source of prisoners for all those empty prisons.
10. Finding a new type of construction work for all those prison construction firms.
11.Convincing the liquor lobby legalized pot/drug stores won't put liquor stores out of business.
12.Finding politicians who are willling to see their political careers come to a stop.
13. City - county - state - federal governments finding new sources of revenue other than seized goods which were taken because they were bought with drug money.
14. Finding new things for all those drug sniffing dogs to sniff. ( poor doggies)
15. Finding new uses for the military forces used to interdict drugs internationally.
16. Finding new jobs for drug kingpins and their gangs and distributors.
17. Finding enough money to overcome the massive amounts of funds the above people will contribute to stop legalization

Marijuana is already legal, at least under federal law. But I agree that it will be difficult to get the federal government to stop breaking the law by persecuting people for drug offenses, for the reasons you mention. Difficult, but not impossible. I think that the tide of public opinion has shifted significantly against the drug war in recent years.
Yours in liberty,
