the DEA is just the violent enforcement end of the big pharma mafia, the FDA is their anti-competition branch while the DEA enforces it. big pharma does not want you using CBD for cancer, it is too cheap. the FDA will say that it isn't effective, the DEA will say that it is illegal to test its effectiveness and big pharma will try to pigeon hole you into purchasing their more expensive forms of treatment.

All excellent points, never thought of it that way.

No accountability. Millions of americans have died from drugs both illegal and legal since the beginning of the DEA. Nobody in the DEA is going to ever be responsible for the agencies failures, but everyone wants to take credit when they get to steal money cars and a few tons of drugs from criminals. The DEA has 50000 dead Americans from drugs each year and the blood on their hands.

That's an interesting take. But that's the thing with government... "I think of an [honest company] and I take away all accountability."
