Silver State Libertarian Leanings

Stealing copper wire and tubing is not exactly a new crime, but with the rising cost of metal, it has become a more popular one in recent years. Now the RGJ is reporting that stealing copper has become a favorite income for meth heads.

 Part of a nationwide trend, methamphetamine addicts who steal copper wiring to sell continue to plague the Truckee Meadows and Northern Nevada, authorities said.

So what’s the DEA doing about this problem? Raiding LA cannabis clubs.

Federal agents raided 10 marijuana clinics Wednesday, the same day city leaders introduced a measure calling for an end to the crackdown on the dispensaries allowed under state law.

Outstanding. We have lunatics wacked out of their minds on a drug that steals your soul, and they are running around stealing money right out of our pockets. But those guys are pretty tough to catch. So instead, the rocket scientists at the DEA decide the most productive thing they can do with their time is chase down the sitting duck cannabis club.

So let’s see. We could either chase down theives and thugs or stop sick people from getting a plant that makes them sit at home and do nothing. I am really starting to believe the war on drugs is nothing more than a hoax to grow the size of government. These cannabis club busts are nothing more than a plaque to hang on the wall at the DEA to prove they actually do something. It still allows them to do damn near nothing cause there is not much real police work involved in busting somebody that’s listed in the phone book.
