Then LE wonders why everyone hates them...
http://hightimes.com/news/dea-compares-home-grows-to-meth-houses/
Leave it to the DEA to compare growing your own pot at home to the “meth houses of the 1990s.”
In a puzzling new report, the DEA claims that Colorado’s homegrown pot has led to large-scale operations that risk occupants, neighbors and first responders because of a series of conditions that will probably remind most people of their first apartment or their college dorm room.
In its so-called Intelligence Report for June, the DEA lays out what it regards as the dangers of growing pot at home, which include strong odors, excessive noise from air-conditioning, electrical transformers, heavy traffic, moisture, condensation, mold and loose or entangled electrical wires.
Naturally, legalization advocates were not happy with what they viewed as a report based on faulty science and wildly incorrect and unsubstantiated information.
For starters, Mason Tvert of the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) told Marijuana.com that home-grows are not what they used to be.
“Colorado’s laws have shifted the vast majority of marijuana growing out of homes and into tightly controlled facilities,” he explained.
What the DEA did not take into consideration is that any clean home grow facility can be just as well maintained and clean as any facility—whether outdoor, commercial or a home hobby gardener.
Mold, while a real health issue, depends on humidity, which can be easily measured with a hygrometer and controlled by using a dehumidifier or air conditioner.
Paul Armentano, of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), pointed out that the “DEA’s ‘Flat Earth’ position toward marijuana” was based on “outdated and ineffective scare-tactics that contribute nothing productive to this ongoing, important nationwide narrative.”
Tvert also suggested that the DEA’s attempt to compare a home-grow to a meth house is more outrageous than ever as more states are moving to legalize recreational marijuana.
He called comparing marijuana growers to meth chefs “ridiculous,” which is why the DEA is the “the least credible government agency in America.”

Wholy bejeebus they are really grasping at straws now... I fail to see how a single one of those "dangers" is exclusive to growing cannabis...

Similar risks to cooking food at home, also the risk of food poisoning but some crazy fuckers still cook at home, pure madness.

Why would anyone grow indoors commercially when it costs less to operate a green house or rent industrial space? The DEA is living in the past, and IMHO that's is where the DEA belongs in history books along with the so called war on drugs. Lets face facts the whole drug war has been a huge failure with the loss of civil liberties and human rights and more importantly human lives just to support an ideology that drugs are evil. When has anyone been helped by punishing the so called victim?

I absolutely love that whoever wrote this used the phrase "their so-called intelligence report" 
Great article, typical DEA. This is why no one likes them. They are their own worst enemy. We don't even have to speak out against them, we can just point to fucked up shit they do and say "LOOK AT THIS, YOU SEE THIS SHIT?" They're doing our work for us really.

Some states impliment privatized drug related crime organizations. I may be wrong but I haven't read many DEA busts in my local news. Does the DEA mainly deal with cities country wide or small towns too ?

The DEA is an institute of social control. Like religion they start young and punish you for leaving the school of thought. They do belong in the history books.

Burning labs, in a local field, gave us nosebleeds, from blocks away vs. moisture in a (might be) unventilated space.

What a bunch of poppycock. What's worse, my tax dollars went into making that "study" and nonsensical report.

I can attest to the accuracy of this report. My HVAC system's quiet purr has caused me all sorts of medical issues, including 18.5 different types of cancer according to WebMD. I am also blind and deaf as a result of the entangled electrical wires in the walls of my house. This madness has to stop. We must ban drugs, AC systems, and wires of all kinds, for they are all extremely dangerous.
Booze is cool though, as long as you follow it up with a cigarette.

You guys are laughing now, but just you wait. One of these days one of those marijuana fiends might be your own neighbor, they'll be craving a hit so bad that they'll try to cure the buds under an open flame. This will cause each nugget to explode with the force of a grenade and set off a chain reaction.
It makes me sick to think that people think the dea has anything other than your best interest in mind. They're our protectors, and we should support then in any way possible.

Growing plants=making meth? Really? Worst risk of growing is fire if you hook the electrical up badly. Worst possible risk of making meth? Gassing everybody and blowing the house to pieces catching the neighbors houses on fire.
The sad irony is BOTH hazards are caused by the war on drugs. If meth were legal, nobody would need to cook it in their home- just buy it at the pharmacy. It's an incredibly cheap drug if the legal issues were gone.
If pot were legal, you could just plant it in the garden right next to the tomatoes and peppers if you wanted to, or buy it from the local smoke shop just like good ole brown. I'm sure by 2030 we as a species will realize how dumb the war on campaigns really were. That is, assuming we don't exterminate ourselves before then.

I think it's funny when cops bust a grow with biowarfare gear on for the "fumes". Like terpenes aren't in the grocery store.
