easy to say when you're not facing time in prison. If you want to see what it's like to live in a police state, just walk around with a small bag of pot in your pocket for a while. Just yesterday morning I spotted the police helicopter scanning my house with IR.

If the federal government ended its senseless domestic war and shifted just 10% of the currently expended funds on treatment programs, the benefit would be massive. But as for today .. more federal dollars being spent: 5 N.C. Counties Designated 'High Intensity' Areas for Drugs Drugs (Generic) Posted: Today at 11:18 a.m. Updated: Today at 11:48 a.m. Washington, D.C. — The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy has designated 26 counties nationwide as High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA). Among the counties named are five in North Carolina – Durham, Johnston, Wake, Wayne and Wilson. According to a report issued by the federal government on Thursday, the regions "exhibit serious drug-trafficking problems and harmfully impact other areas of the country." The designation makes additional federal funds, equipment and technology available to those counties for fighting drug production, manufacture and distribution. The five North Carolina counties are the first in the state to receive this designation and will be part of the Atlanta region's HIDTA. In 2007, the HIDTA program provided more than $224 million to support drug-enforcement efforts nationwide.
