The DEA is the best thing that happened to the cartels. If they weren't preventing people from growing their own weed or producing their own drugs in the US then their wouldn't be a need for the cartels. Instead, the DEA eliminates most of the local competition, enabling the cartels.

But the DEA is the Cartel, if you look at where we send are agents to fight the war on drugs. More drugs come out of these area when the DEA agents start working there. They create the drugs and get them into the states to sell them (profit), have a war on fighting them (profit), then make laws to put people in jail or take their money (more, and more profit).

Science requires evidence and peer review. Evidence based Medicine is the new paradigm in health care. Standard treatments are now scrutinized for their validity but reference to clinical trials (evidence).
And then there is the DEA. They simply know* what is legal and illegal. And if its illegal, well then, it must be so for a reason, right? Evidence is not required by the DEA..
