U.S. domestic marijuana industry fuels Mexican drug cartels

U.S. domestic marijuana industry fuels Mexican drug cartels. What is the U.S. Government Doing to Stop This Thriving Business?

In the wake of one of Mexico’s most serious attacks on innocent citizens executed by a violent transnational drug cartel at a casino in the city of Monterrey, President Obama promises to help combat Mexico’s increasingly brutal crime organizations. The question is how?

Although the Drug Enforcement Administration is now cracking down on some domestic drug cartel grow operations and distribution sites, far too little is being done. The Obama Administration continues to allow the marijuana industry to thrive, thus supporting terrorist acts such as the one in Mexico. Our government ignores its obligations under the U.N. Drug Conventions, and turns a blind eye to marijuana users, cultivators and traffickers under the guise of medicine all while the media glamorizes marijuana, said Calvina Fay, Executive Director of Drug Free America Foundation, Inc.

Attorney General Eric Holder has issued unclear and confusing statements that have fueled the problem and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has remained essentially silent on the issue while the biggest scam ever to be perpetrated on the American public has been left virtually unchecked. While a crude toxic weed is peddled to sick and dying people as a medicine, our government has done little to protect the public. The FDA is quick to regulate what legitimate businesses can offer for public consumption and what patented medical devices can be used but has turned a blind eye to the marketing of marijuana and drug paraphernalia that is utilized to deliver pot for so-called medicinal purposes. No labeling or knowledge of contents, no quality control, no knowledge of where these products are produced and packaged before being provided for human consumption – for what other medicine would this be allowed? continued Fay.

It is time for our government to take its head out of the sand and end the support it lends to vicious terrorists (foreign and domestic) by allowing them to cultivate and sell marijuana under the guise of medicine on American soil! It is time to protect the public and enforce our drug laws, Fay concluded.
