“We poisoned our community to make cases,” DEA Special Agent David Howell said in a series of interviews in New Mexico. “Through our own willful blindness, we get to say, ‘We don’t really know what happened to the drugs.’ But we 100% got people killed.”

Going to guess their theory is that dealers of legalized drugs want people to do their legal drugs so anything that makes illegal/untaxed drugs more difficult to acquire than their legal drugs benefits their business. For the DEA, there are plenty of scarier drugs than marijuana for which to imprison people. They won’t be out of a job any time soon. And they can even team up with the IRS to hunt down people selling untaxed marijuana like the ATF does with moonshiners.
