They didn't join anything and it's unlikely they will anytime soon. Where would they get the cheap work force if they couldn't lock up all those black guys for pot possession?
DEA needs to loosen up on it as it's medically legal in 38 states, and rec legal in 24. There are numerous medical uses for it, and it evens helps children with epileptic seizures. Personally,
I'd like it to be treated the same as alcohol.
