Senate passes bill expanding drug war with Transnational Drug Trafficking Act
Policy 8:09am December 17, 2014 1 comment » Senate passes bill expanding drug war with Transnational Drug Trafficking Act
On Monday, the Senate passed the Transnational Drug Trafficking Act, which expands the war on drugs. This law gives the Justice Department the authority to prosecute drug traffickers from foreign countries. The law also ensures that current penalties apply to chemical producers from other countries that illegally ship precursor chemicals (for example: cold medicines to be turned into meth) into the U.S. knowing these chemicals will be used to make illegal drugs. The bill was co-authored by Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein (CA) and Republican Senator Chuck Grassley (IA).

The correct statement of individual rights is that everyone has the right to an opinion, but crucially, that opinion can be roundly ignored and even made fun of, particularly if it is demonstrably nonsense."

And the Chinese and Indian pharmacy companies continue laughing all the way to the bank as people buy their prescription meds for 2% of U.S. cost that they couldn't afford otherwise.
Not to mention all the research chems with the massive profit margins. Their gov'ts have real issues to deal with and don't care what gets sold to America by and large.
The world is rather openly turning its ass towards the U.S. on a host of issues drugs being one of them unless it suits their own interests to participate.
