Pot makes its way into america accross it's boarder with mexico (mine does, anyways. no, I don't deal). Sure, The boarder patrol does a great job. They bust alot of smugglers. But trust me, alot of pot makes its way here and accross the country.
Now unless our government is crooked enough to sell drugs it confiscates (highly unlikely), we are missing alot of pot. Want to know why?

"It's bad enough that the Clinton team hired dozens of people who'd used drugs in the year before joining the White House. Worse is the defense of this conduct by President Clinton's top aides.
"To grant security passes to some recent drug users, the White House overruled the Secret Service. Even when crack cocaine showed up in staffer's FBI reports, the Clinton team issued passes.
"The White House notes that such staffers got clearance only if they entered a special drug-testing program. In other words, what's the big deal?
"The very fact the the White House has had to monitor its staff to keep drug abusers clean IS an big deal. Indeed, it's surreal: This is the WHITE HOUSE we're talking about. Why hire crackheads in the first place, especially when you must have hundreds of qualified applicants?
"Moreover, the White House didn't set up the drug-testing program on its own. It only did so after Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va, forced it to admit, in March 1994, that press secretary Dee Dee Myers and more than 100 other staffers had failed to get final security clearance.
