    DEA actually cited "getting arrested" as one of the "dangers" of marijuana that justify its continued prohibitionhttps://www.muckrock.com/news/archives/2016/aug/12/dangers-marijuana-according-dea/ …

        @cmoraff ...which actually highlights the dangers of handling drug use criminally instead of medically.

        @cmoraff In San Diego, allegiance to ie "US law enforcement" is minimal. When it comes to the Gringo, Mexican pigs enjoy impugnity mondo.

        @cmoraff @radleybalko In DEA's defense (words I never thought I'd write), they're talking about arrests in general, not arrests for weed

        @cmoraff @radleybalko Not getting arrested is also a danger, because if you don't get arrested you could keep doing marijuana.

      @cmoraff @fillagainb #DesperationCausesStrangeBehaviour Would anyone want to lose high paid work doing next to nothing useful? I doubt that.

      @cmoraff @mikeduncan @MuckRock Much the same way "Resisting Arrest" can be used as a reason to arrest someone.

      Reminds me of the argument often used to deny parole: "Been removed from society so long he would be a danger." @cmoraff @radleybalko

      @cmoraff @radleybalko Are pot arrests like loitering arrests & just busy work that DEA/cops think make it look like they're fighting crime?
