The DEA objective is about making the DEA bigger, richer and more powerful and that is it.
The DEA are all about optics, being seen to been be doing something. DEA did nothing about the CIA importing Heroin and coke, did nothing about Purdue and is doing nothing about Shire and Teva and the massive abuse of prescription drugs. A constitutional question, who voted for the DEA and who gave the DEA the power to write and enforce law and who are they accountable to? not the American people for damn sure.
Nothing the DEA is proposing going to impact the Mexican cartels or the Canadians making and shipping meth fentanyl etc into the US, The cartels are happy the domestic US competition is being kept down, all the while the opioid corpses stack up, the DEA gets plenty of funding and fat pensions.
This is a huge and deadly 50 year old industry, the other side of the coin is whole harm reduction treatment industrial complex, which funds this website and the associated pile of academics. Nobody in this industry wants the problem solved in a reasonable humanitarian and moral way because that would kill the golden goose.
The WoD is a classic forever war and has killed and destroyed millions. So it goes.
fwiw anything that temporarily forms an imine from meth racemizes the position, borrowing hydrogen strategies with metals are the most efficient.
