For sure they won't dry up. I don't think anyone is clueless and thinks raids will end overnight.
Though, when the local & state officers are not allowed to help the Feds on investigating Marijuana offenses (federal offenses), it will essentially cut the arms off the octopus of the DEA. So I imagine that there may be a steep incline in DEA busts shortly after Prop 19 passes to make a point. Then a rapid decline once they can't keep up with it (lack of resources).
Though, you have to consider the ramification of stigma once Prop 19 passes. Over time, people will see their friends and families ingest Cannabis. They will see that they didn't turn into lazy losers overnight. Also, I foresee brave doctors and scientists performing studies that substantiate the Pro-Cannabis movement. Lack of social problems coupled with strong scientific study should breakdown the so-called Berlin wall our Governments have created for Cannabis.
I personally feel that our Governments are panicking. I have a strong feeling that once some of the lies have been uncovered, that the people will be IRATE. They will demand an investigation. I have a strong feeling that an in-depth investigation will reveal that many people in our government has known for a long time that Cannabis is not harmful. I have a feeling, people will be going to jail.
Isn't it interesting when more than a handful of ex-DEA Csar's come forward and write a letter to our president to urge a lawsuit? How about how many of them have been flying around the country giving press conferences to promote prohibition. Who pays for this? This stuff isn't cheap. To me, it seems like they have something to hide and need to keep it hidden at all costs.
I think under ABX 6-9 it will be UNLAWFUL for state and local leo to help or provide any assistance to the feds. I wonder if leos that get caught will be criminally prosecuted?
