The Drug Enforcement Administration and Western Pennsylvania District Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan are out to get me again! Buchanan is the woman behind 2003’s DEA Operation Pipe Dreams, in which the DEA went after “paraphernalia” manufacturers and distributors, and entrapped me for a business my son owned and operated called “Chong Bongs” (no doubt motivated by my reputation and what I represent).

In this episode we talk about the continued harassment of our family by law enforcement, and the (temporary) loss of custody of Candi's son due to the raid on our home for busting corrupt kops.

The source of the drug war violence is not Mexican supply. It is American demand coupled with prohibition.
