is holder raiding MMJ to look "tough on drugs".....

[SwampG8r]

or is he just making sure the cartels he armed have a demand for their products?

1. Recommend. nt

2. No. He is doing it because only big pharma can grow and sell-it's about money...

3. the cartels of mexico are deeply invested

in MJ they will gladly fill the MMJ needs once holder crushes the supply system
they have a lot of money tied up in it.

5. It's ALWAYS about the money. Always. nt

7. I think there is room for both the cartels and the Big Pharma folks to

Nudge good ol Eric into doing their bidding.

He was always suspect for those of us who understood who he was and how in his "younger years' he had few qualms representing those who managed death squads.

4. Too many special interests against it...

the cartels as you noted, the law enforcement and prison unions, big pharma and, if we're talking recreational use, then we have the alcohol industry. Good luck going up against all that.

6. Follow the money. As one of the quislings (or an actual 1%er for all we know),

he is motivated solely by personal gain.

8. ya think?

9. Or is he raiding in order to draw attention away from the fucked up Fast and Furious operation

That's a possibility as well.
