IF I WERE CONTRARIAN-KING OF THE UNITED STATES

I have occasionally imagined how I would realistically change drug policy
if I was President, or had some other poliitical power, and perhaps some
day I'll share that with you. However, today I decided to be different and
imagined I was some kind of arbitrary King and decided to retaliate by
being contrarian.

* DEA agents who investigate doctors for prescribing pain medication must
have other DEA agents perform any medical procedures (like heart
transplants and brain surgery) that are needed by the agents. After all, if
DEA agents know so much about medicine...

* Putting a positive choice spin on drug testing, only those students not
participating in extra-curricular activities can be drug tested, and only
if there are extra-curricular options available and they still choose not
to participate. In a related area, felons on parole can avoid drug tests by
getting involved in community service volunteer projects. (actually, this
one makes a little sense)

* Law enforcement officers who are part of no-knock drug task forces must
publicly list their names and addresses. Ordinary citizens are allowed to
wander through their home between the hours of 11 pm and 4 am and look
through their drawers.

* Officers wishing to search a car for drugs must get a search warrant from
a judge specifying the make, year, color and VIN, along with specific
descriptions of the particular drugs they expect to find.

* Law enforcement agencies wishing to keep proceeds from Asset Forfeitures
must put up as bond an amount equal to the value of the assets seized. If
a judge rules for the property owner, the property owner gets his assets
back plus the bond, making a nice profit for his trouble.

* School Principals who enforce zero-tolerance policies must get written
permission from one of their students before taking an aspirin or any other
medication (any time of day or night).

* Any laws passed that have criminal penalties are automatically infinitely
retroactive for those who voted for (or signed) the law. This means, for
example, that any Congressmen who vote for enhanced drug possession
penalties would be immediately liable under that law for any drugs they
took when they were young.

* The Drug Czar must wear a silly hat and a sign saying "I am a liar"
whenever he goes out in public, and whenever he talks about drug statistics
he must perform a leprechaun dance.

* All DEA paperwork must be printed on hemp paper.

* Inmates in federal prisons construct bongs and waterpipes, and these are
sold through an online store run by the Justice Department, and
administered by Tommy Chong.

* Smugglers who are caught are sent back to their home country with their
drugs and told to try again.

* All law enforcement uniforms are made with material that smells just like
marijuana to drug-sniffing dogs.

It's fun! Got any to add?
