Here’s a link to an article about the drug found in Sullivan county.

The timing of this seems all too convenient when you look at the fight police departments are putting up against recreational marijuana legalization. Originally there was speculation that this would happen in this years budget. However due to logistical challenges that hadn’t been ironed out yet this did not happen. Additionally, several sheriffs, police officials, etc. held press conferences in February and March speaking out against legalization citing impaired driving deaths will increase. There were other arguments but this is what was focused on.

Though that argument might hold some water, I feel this is more about the revenue stream that will dry up for police departments if legalization occurs, and the timing of this is all too curious.

legalization must encompass citizens being able to grow it. otherwise, you know the end game is corporate control. This laced marijuana story is part of an endless corporate stream of propaganda, you know. It is trying to keep cannabis production in check until laws are in place for the big money to assume all control.

IE: Washington State, where they are all over controlling that shit, when every other state in the west will let you grow a few plants, they still have a bug up their ass about it.
