Hmmm we already have a prescription drug abuse problem in Afghanistan and even a steroid problem.
Now this:. Fuck the Marines and Conservative war supporters(libs sure as hell don't support this war).
You won't hear shit from God, Guns and lets make abortion illegal crowd on this.
Since the Marines don't have anyone the caliber of Butler or Puller they just saluted promptly and carried it out like a pack of Nazis.
Betcha there's a shit load of hash users on the Marine base or they're selling it to others.
Remember that Stryker unit where all the guys smoked hashish after a patrol and collected human body parts as trophies.
Evidently it wasn't a uncommon practice since other Stryker units knew about and didn't say shit. Most of the other units probably had a load of court martial offenses they were covering up as well and that's why they kept their mouths shut.

This raises American hypocrisy to another level. If you get caught with an ounce of pot, that's intent to sell - you're going to jail. Non-violent drug offenders mean more business for Halliburton, which builds the jails in CA. It also means more jobs for prison guards, the DEA, the defense contractors that sell them weapons, judges, lawyers, and everyone else that benefits from the War on Drugs and has a big enough lobby to influence government. Wachovia and Wells Fargo also benefit by laundering the Mexican drug cartel's money. www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-06-29/banks-financing-mexico-s-drug-cartels-admitted-in-wells-fargo-s-u-s-deal.html

I always wondered why we didn't kill off the poppy crops and just pay the farmers a stipend to grow anything else but poppies.
The fact is we don't want the poppy production to cease.
What's particularly amusing is how blase the anti-drug warriors and Conservatives are about this business.
But there is a dark side to this. It's the collective silence of the marines and their CO's on this.
Consider this: If they obey orders like helping farmers to grow poppies without question or not blowing the whistle on it via youtube or a blog. It tells me these marines would not hesitate to shoot Americans if the order came down. Their allegiance is to the President and Marine corp commandant respectively.
And historically Marines have had zero compunction plugging and clubbing Americans.
So don't think in the event of the people getting uppity that the Feds will not unleash their gang of roided out pitbulls on us replete with choppers and tanks.
