Umuyobozi mushya w’ubuyobozi bushinzwe kurwanya ibiyobyabwenge muri Amerika yatangaje ko gusuzuma ibiyobyabwenge bya marijuwana bizaba bimwe mu byo ashyira imbere

Nta gushidikanya ko iyi ari intsinzi ikomeye ku nganda z'urumogi.

Umukandida wa Perezida Trump ku buyobozi bushinzwe kurwanya ibiyobyabwenge (DEA) yavuze ko biramutse byemejwe, gusuzuma icyifuzo cyo gutandukanya urumogi mu mategeko ya federasiyo bizaba “kimwe mu byo nshyize imbere,” avuga ko igihe kigeze ngo “dutere imbere” inzira ihagaze.

Icyakora, Terrance Cole, umuyobozi mushya wa DEA watowe, yanze inshuro nyinshi kwiyemeza gushyigikira itegeko ryihariye ry’ubuyobozi bwa Biden bwo gutandukanya urumogi kuva ku rutonde rwa mbere kugeza ku rutonde rwa III hakurikijwe itegeko rigenga ibintu (CSA). Cole yabwiye Senateri uharanira demokarasi muri Californiya, Alex Padilla ati: "Niba byemejwe, kimwe mu byo nshyira mu mwanya wa mbere nyuma yo gufata DEA ni ukumva aho inzira y'ubuyobozi ihagaze." Ati: "Ntabwo nsobanutse neza ku buryo bwihariye, ariko nzi ko inzira yatinze inshuro nyinshi - igihe kirageze cyo gutera imbere."

Abajijwe uko ahagaze ku cyifuzo cyihariye cyo kwimura urumogi kuri gahunda ya III, Cole yarashubije ati: "Nkeneye kumenya byinshi ku myanya y’inzego zinyuranye, nkiga siyanse iri inyuma yacyo, kandi nkagisha inama impuguke kugira ngo nsobanukirwe neza aho ziri muri iki gikorwa." Mu gihe cy’iburanisha, Cole yabwiye kandi Senateri Thom Tillis (R-NC) ko yemera ko hagomba gushyirwaho “itsinda ry’imirimo” kugira ngo rikemure itandukaniro riri hagati y’amategeko y’urumogi na leta kugira ngo “bakomeze imbere y’iki kibazo.”

Senateri Tillis yagaragaje impungenge z’ubwoko kavukire bw’Abanyamerika muri Carolina y'Amajyaruguru bwemerera urumogi rukuze mu gihe leta ubwayo itigeze ishyiraho amategeko ku rwego rw’igihugu. Senateri yagize ati: "Amategeko ya Leta yerekeye urumogi rwemewe n'amategeko n'ubuvuzi ateye urujijo bidasanzwe. Ndatekereza ko yavuye mu butegetsi." Ati: "Amaherezo, ndizera ko guverinoma ihuriweho na Leta igomba gushyiraho umurongo." Cole yarashubije ati: "Ndatekereza ko tugomba gushyiraho itsinda rishinzwe gukemura iki kibazo kuko tugomba gukomeza imbere yacyo. Icya mbere, tugomba kugisha inama abavoka bo muri Amerika mu karere ndetse n’abunganizi ba DEA kugira ngo batange igisubizo cyuzuye. Duhereye ku kubahiriza amategeko, dukwiye gushyiraho umurongo ngenderwaho kugira ngo amategeko y’urumogi akurikizwe mu bihugu byose uko ari 50."

Urukurikirane rw'ibibazo mu gihe cy'iburanisha ntirwerekanye uko Cole aheruka gufata kuri politiki y'urumogi cyangwa ngo atange igisubizo gisobanutse neza ku buryo yakemura icyo cyifuzo cyo kwimurwa nyuma yo gutangira imirimo. Ariko, byerekanaga ko yatanze ikibazo cyane mugihe yitegura gufata inshingano zikomeye zumuyobozi wa DEA.

Don Murphy, umwe mu bashinze ihuriro ry’urumogi muri Amerika, yatangarije itangazamakuru ati: “Hatitawe ku kuntu umuntu abona ibibazo cyangwa ibitekerezo bya Senateri Thom Tillis, kuba urumogi rwararerewe muri komite ishinzwe ubucamanza bwa Sena bivuze ko tumaze gutsinda.” “Turimo gutera intambwe gahoro gahoro kugira ngo duhagarike amategeko abuza.” Cole mbere yagaragaje impungenge z’ingaruka z’urumogi, ruhuza n’ubwiyongere bw’ubwiyahuzi mu rubyiruko. Uyu watowe umaze imyaka 21 muri DEA, kuri ubu akora nk'umunyamabanga wa Virginia ushinzwe umutekano rusange n'umutekano mu gihugu (PSHS), aho imwe mu nshingano ze ari ukugenzura ikigo cya Leta gishinzwe kurwanya urumogi (CCA). Umwaka ushize, nyuma yo gusura ibiro bya CCA, Cole yanditse ku mbuga nkoranyambaga ati: “Nakoze mu myaka irenga 30 mu nzego zishinzwe kubahiriza amategeko, kandi abantu bose bazi imyifatire yanjye ku rumogi - ku buryo nta mpamvu yo kubaza!”

Trump yabanje guhitamo umuyobozi w’akarere ka Hillsborough mu ntara ya Hillsborough, Chad Chronister kugira ngo ayobore DEA, ariko umukandida ushyigikiye amategeko yanze kandidatire ye muri Mutarama nyuma y’uko abadepite baharanira inyungu zabo basuzumye inyandiko yanditse ku bijyanye n’umutekano rusange mu gihe cy’icyorezo cya COVID-19.

Ku bijyanye na gahunda yo kwisubiraho, DEA iherutse kumenyesha umucamanza w’ubutegetsi ko ibikorwa bikomeje guhagarara - nta kindi gikorwa giteganijwe kubera ko iki kibazo kiri munsi y’umuyobozi w’agateganyo, Derek Maltz, wavuze ko urumogi ari “ibiyobyabwenge by’irembo” kandi ruhuza ikoreshwa ryarwo n’uburwayi bwo mu mutwe.

Hagati aho, nubwo guhagarika amavuriro yemewe y’urumogi atari byo byihutirwa DEA, umushinjacyaha w’Amerika aherutse kwihanangiriza ububiko bw’urumogi i Washington, DC, ku bijyanye n’ihohoterwa ry’igihugu cya federasiyo, agira ati: "Inda yanjye irambwira ngo amaduka y’urumogi ntagomba kuba mu baturanyi."

Komite ishinzwe ibikorwa bya politiki (PAC) ishyigikiwe n’inganda z’urumogi nayo yashyize ahagaragara amatangazo yamamaza mu byumweru bishize yibasiye amateka y’ubuyobozi bwa Biden kuri politiki y’urumogi na Kanada, anenga ibirego bibeshya byatanzwe n’ubuyobozi bwabanje mu gihe yemeza ko ubuyobozi bwa Trump bushobora kugera ku ivugurura.

Amatangazo aheruka gushinja uwahoze ari Perezida Joe Biden na DEA we kuba baragize “intambara ikomeye ya leta” ku barwayi b’urumogi ariko ntibabura kuvuga ko gahunda yo gutondekanya abantu - ubucuruzi bw'urumogi bizeye ko buzarangira ku butegetsi bwa Trump - bwatangijwe n'uwahoze ari perezida ubwe.

Kugeza ubu, gahunda yo kwisubiraho irasaba DEA by'agateganyo ibijyanye n'itumanaho rya ex parte hagati y’ikigo n’abatavuga rumwe n’ihinduka rya politiki mu gihe cy’ubuyobozi bwa Biden. Ikibazo gikomoka ku kuba DEA yaribeshye mu manza z’abacamanza.

Amagambo yavuzwe n’umuyobozi mushya wa DEA, Cole, ni ikimenyetso cyiza cyerekana ko ubuyobozi bushya bushobora kurenga ku bujurire bw’agateganyo, mu manza z’ubutegetsi, n’ubundi buryo butoroshye bwo gutanga itegeko rya nyuma ryerekana urumogi kuri gahunda ya III. Imwe mu nyungu nini zivugururwa kwari ugukuraho imipaka ya IRS code 280E, kwemerera ubucuruzi bwurumogi gukuramo amafaranga asanzwe yubucuruzi no guhatanira umwanya uringaniye hamwe nizindi nganda zose zemewe n'amategeko.
