I tend to agree with the author that the government showed an extreme amount of cowardice in dealing with this. The executives at HSBC were not sitting around smoking a joint at lunch. They were laundering money for serious heavy hitters. The funny thing is they will still arrest you for smoking that joint.

    Oh, and BTW, money going to Dem election coffers via 'transfer of wealth' payments. Follow the money.

    Mostly I think they're keeping "drugs" illegal because they rob people of their ability to make rational judgments and because of all the other harm they do to people, directly and indirectly.

    But mostly I think it's the rational judgment thing.

    Another Obama fail. Is anybody surprised that the exdrug dealer president would direct the DOJ to limp wrist this one. Another smack in the face to every cop, prosecutor judge or jury that ever did it's job on a drug trial.
