TAL, the point that was made was this legislation that weakened the DEA's enforcement was passed in 2015.

It now does not allow the DEA to research into drug users "private matters". It takes the teeth out of a lot of arrests of drug users and attempts to make us all think of it ALWAYS as an illness rather than the choice it often is. to It was not passed under this administration. Another legacy of the past one.

Yes it is addiction, but choices were made at some point and it is illegal as hell to do drugs. It is illegal to buy them...now we have to legally play "poor addict".
