I mean it though.
The people working for the DEA now are no better than the people working to enforce alcohol prohibition in 1919. It'd be nice if humanity would learn, with a hundred years to think about it, but the ruling class at least haven't. They enforce poorly thought out puritanical laws, and the world would be better off without them.
If I lived in America rather than Canada, which thank god I don't, the DEA would happily kick down my door, shoot me, and then probably also shoot my wife, who doesn't even partake of anything beyond alcohol, but would obviously be upset about my being shot.
All cops are bastards, and should be torched with molotovs at any available opportunity. If they didn't want to be bastards, they shouldn't have signed up as cops; it's not like they're conscripts
