DEA'S POSITION

DEA is unequivocally opposed to the legalization of illicit drugs (including, marijuana, hemp, and hemp seed oil).

Legalization of drugs in any form would likely:

(1) reduce the perception of the risks and costs of drug use;

(2) increase availability of and access to harmful drugs;

(3) increase demand, use, abuse, and addiction; and

(4) remove the social sanction against drug abuse that is reinforced in legislation.

The present social problems in the United States, including crime, health problems, and poverty, are substantial and will only be exacerbated if drugs are legalized. The arguments for legalization are a sad and bitter offering to the most vulnerable segment of our population. Legalization would increase risks and costs to individuals, families, and communities, indeed, to every part of the nation, without compensating benefits.

Any proposal with the potential to do these things is unacceptable. As public policy, it is fundamentally flawed.
