“Given the DEA’s historic relationship with the Sinaloa cartel, and the agency’s fury over legalized marijuana, it almost seems like the DEA wants to crush the legal weed market in order to protect the interests of their cartel friends. Almost. ‘The DEA doesn’t want the drug war to end,’ said retired federal agent Terry Nelson, when asked about a possible connection between the agency’s hatred of legal pot and its buddies in Sinaloa. ‘If it ends, they don’t get their toys and their budgets. Once it ends, they aren’t going to have the kind of influence in foreign government. I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but where there’s smoke there’s probably fire.’
