I've heard of Coke employees being arrested for this. The company set up surveillance and busted workers carrying cases to their cars.

If it's going to be junked anyway I wont speculate as to why the company cares, but it doesnt seem worth losing the job. Coke employees to very well in my area.

Will you stop?

Reddiquette demands it? I think there is a legally enforceable trust relationship that has just been created that demands it.

I studied criminal justice and then became a lawyer and was convinced that I would never live to see marijuana legalized for recreational use at the federal level.

It seemed to be that the root of it all was drug asset forfeiture laws. I read about small rural police departments getting a lucky score of cash or other assets and buying things like police helicopters (that they later could not afford to maintain), luxury cars for the department brass, speed boats, new buildings, you name it.

My question is whether, in light of asset seizure as well as the sheer number of people employed by the war on drugs, has the drug war become too big to fail?
