Feds Raid Pot-Laced-Candy Factory
By PAUL ELIAS Associated Press Writer

Sep 28th, 2007 | SAN FRANCISCO -- Federal agents said Thursday they shut down a factory that made marijuana-laced barbecue sauce, chocolate-covered pretzels and other "enhanced" snacks intended for medical users of the drug.

The Drug Enforcement Administration said it arrested three people Wednesday and was looking for a fourth who operated Oakland-based Tainted Inc.
It's just so ridiculous that marijuana is an illegal substance. As long as people aren't getting totally stoned and driving cars, I really can't see a problem (although I guess they don't want kids getting a hold of pot, but if it's illegal it's a lot easier for them to get it--you just go to the kid who sells pot in your school). Plus, jesus, the Feds can come in and raid some place in a state where selling it for medical purposes is legal. Well, it's not like I'm coming up with something new here, I just had to state this. I don't think it really struck me that much until I heard the story on the radio last night.

Anyway, it's not going to change for a long time, if ever, so I can't see writing my congressmen about it. Still, just had to note the ridiculousness.

It's not ridiculous when you consider how many people at the DEA would be laid off if half of their workload suddenly disappeared.

OH, but they've got all those drugs that the kids do today to keep 'em busy - CAT, crystal meth, crank (oh wait, I think that's crystal meth)....

We need a new drug in this country. Something like what Hughy Lewis talked about - won't make you sick, won't make your feet feel too big. Non-addictive, doesn't make you a moron, doesn't mush your brain cells, doesn't make you sleep with anything that moves.... Just makes you feel really good, and have fun. Although LSD is a good old-fashioned drug in that case (but there's the possibility of mental breakdown).

ok - that's a long answer.
