A local head shop was raided by Feds yesterday along with other similar business nationwide. The DEA has decided that all glass pipes are considered “drug paraphernalia” and possession is grounds for federal arrest. Unfortunately, this probably means the closure of the only profitable business in a slowly dying downtown Eugene.

This reinforces my belief that drug laws should be controlled by states or cities so that regulations can be more in tune with the attitudes of local voters. And for the worst pun I’ve read in the news so far this year, look to this article for a quote from the head of the DEA: “With Operations Pipe Dreams, these criminals are out of business, and 11 illicit dot.coms are dot.gone.”

Dot.gone. Frickin’ hilarious.
