“In an email to supporters sent Friday, the Drug Policy Alliance questioned why the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration was considered essential during the government shutdown. ‘The government shutdown has closed our national parks and furloughed almost a million federal employees, but the Drug Enforcement Administration remains ‘essential’ enough to carry on the drug war. You and I both know the DEA isn’t effective. So why is it considered essential?’ Bill Piper said in the email. The group, which seeks to end the war on drugs, urged supporters to sign a petition that calls on Congress to defund the DEA.”
