Marijuana-legalization advocates cheered
the upcoming departure of federal agent Jeffrey D. Sweetin because, they
said, they believe his views are not in line with the will of Colorado
voters who legalized the drug for medicinal purposes.
The outspoken special agent in charge of Denver's Drug Enforcement
Administration understands that he became the "face" of
anti-legalization in Colorado, but says his exit doesn't mean the fight
over marijuana is over.
"The person who takes my place is going to have the same mission I
have," Sweetin said.
DEA agents are sworn to uphold the constitution, and marijuana
remains illegal under federal law, he said. |

Speaking privately with Richard Nixon in 1971, the late Art Linkletter offered this view on the use of marijuana versus alcohol. "When people smoke marijuana, they smoke it to get high. In every case, when most people drink, they drink to be sociable."
"That's right, that's right," Nixon agreed. "A person does not drink to get drunk ... A person drinks to have fun."
The following year Linkletter announced that he had reversed his position on pot, concluding instead that the drug's social harms were not significant enough to warrant its criminal prohibition. Nixon however stayed the course -- launching the so-called "war" on drugs, a social policy that now results in the arrest of more than 800,000 Americans each year for violating marijuana laws. |
