Ngokwemibiko yabezindaba zezimboni e-United States, i-Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) isiphinde yaba ngaphansi kwengcindezi yokwamukela uphenyo futhi ihoxe ohlelweni oluzayo lokuhlukaniswa kabusha kwensangu ngenxa yezinsolo ezintsha zokuchema.
Kusukela ngoNovemba 2024, abanye abezindaba babike ukuthi kunesiphakamiso esingamakhasi angama-57 esithunyelwe, sicela inkantolo ukuthi ihoxise i-DEA esimisweni sokwenza inqubo yokuhlukaniswa kabusha kwensangu futhi ifake uMnyango Wezobulungiswa. Kodwa-ke, lesi siphakamiso sagcina senqatshiwe iJaji Lokuphatha u-John Mulrooney woMnyango Wezobulungiswa.
Ngasekuqaleni kwaleli sonto, ngokusho kwabameli abamele iVillage Farms kanye neHemp for Victory, izingxenye ezimbili ezibambe iqhaza ekuqulweni kwamacala, sekuvele ubufakazi obusha futhi isinqumo sejaji sidinga ukucutshungulwa kabusha. Ingqikithi yamayunithi angama-25 agunyazwe kulokhu kulalelwa.
Abameli abamele ama-Village Farms, anekomkhulu eFlorida naseBritish Columbia, kanye ne-Hemp for Victory, ikomkhulu eTexas, bathi bathole ubufakazi bokuchema kanye “nokungqubuzana kwezintshisekelo okungadalulwanga, kanye nokuxhumana okukhulu okuhlangene kwe-DEA okufanele kudalulwe futhi kufakwe ingxenye yamarekhodi omphakathi.
Ngokombhalo omusha othunyelwe ngoJanuwari 6, i-US Drug Enforcement Administration ayigcinanga nje ngokuhluleka ukusekela imithetho ehlongozwayo yokuhlelwa kabusha kwensangu, kodwa futhi ithathe isimo sengqondo sokuphikisa futhi yabukela phansi ukuhlolwa kwezinzuzo zezokwelapha kanye nenani lesayensi lensangu ngu. ngokusebenzisa izindinganiso eziphelelwe yisikhathi nezinqatshelwe ngokomthetho.
Ngokwamadokhumenti, ubufakazi obuqondile buhlanganisa:
1. I-US Drug Enforcement Administration ithumele idokhumenti “ebefika ngesikhathi, echemile, futhi engafanele ngokomthetho” ngoJanuwari 2, “enanela amaphuzu okukhulunywa ngawo ngokumelene nokuhlukaniswa kabusha kwensangu,” njengokuthi “insangu inamandla amakhulu okuxhashazwa futhi okwamanje ayinakho ukwelashwa okuqashelwayo. sebenzisa,” futhi wenqaba ukunika abanye ababambiqhaza isikhathi esanele sokubuyekeza nokuphendula, bephula izinqubo zikahulumeni.
2. Kufihlwe ukuthi “cishe izicelo eziyi-100″ zokuthamela icala zinqatshiwe, okuhlanganisa nezicelo ezivela eColorado “kanye nokuxhumana nokuxhumana kwazo okungenani nesikhungo sikahulumeni esisodwa esiphikisa ukufakwa kabusha kwensangu esigabeni, i-Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
3. Ngokuthembela ku-Community Anti Drug Alliance (CADCA) e-United States, “enguzakwethu” we-Drug Enforcement Administration ezindabeni ezihlobene ne-fentanyl, kukhona “ukungqubuzana kwezintshisekelo okungenzeka”.
Le mibhalo iveza ukuthi “lobu bufakazi obusha buqinisekisa ukuthi i-US Drug Enforcement Administration ivuna ngokusobala labo abaphikisana nokuhlukaniswa kabusha kwensangu lapho kukhethwa abahlanganyeli abalalelayo, futhi ivimbela inqubo elinganiselayo necabangelayo esekelwe kwisayensi nobufakazi, emzamweni wokuvimbela okuhlongozwayo. umthetho ukuthi ungadluli."
Abameli baphinde baveza ukuthi isitatimende sakamuva sikadokotela wemithi e-US Drug Enforcement Administration sigcizelele “izinkulumo zabo eziphikisana nokuhlukaniswa kabusha kwensangu,” okuhlanganisa nezinsolo zokuthi insangu kungenzeka ukuthi ihlukunyezwe futhi ayaziwa ukusetshenziswa kwezokwelapha. Lesi sikhundla singqubuzana ngokuqondile nokutholwe yinhlolovo efanele eyenziwe nguMnyango Wezempilo Nezinsizakalo Zabantu wase-US (HHS), ophakamisa ukuthi kusetshenziswe ukuhlaziya okubanzi kwezinto ezimbili ukuze kuhlelwe kabusha insangu.
Kubikwa ukuthi amanye amaqembu aphikisayo, njengeTennessee Bureau of Investigation, Cannabis Intelligent Methods Organisation (SAM), kanye ne-American Community Anti Drug Alliance (CADCA), asebenzisana kakhulu ne-US Drug Enforcement Agency, kuyilapho ababambe iqhaza eColorado. abasekela ukuhlukaniswa kabusha kwensangu banqatshelwe ukufinyelela ekulalelweni.
I-Colorado yaqala ukuthengisa insangu yabantu abadala eminyakeni eyishumi edlule futhi ilawule ngempumelelo izinhlelo zensangu yezokwelapha, iqongelela ingcebo yolwazi olusebenzayo. NgoSepthemba 30 ngonyaka odlule, uMbusi uJared Polis wabhala incwadi eya kuMqondisi we-US Drug Enforcement Administration, u-Anne Milgram, ecela imvume yokuthi umbuso uhlinzeke ngemininingwane “efanele, eyingqayizivele, futhi engaphindaphindi” ukukhombisa ukuthi “insiza yezokwelapha amandla okuhlukumeza insangu aphansi kakhulu kunalawo ezidakamizwa ze-opioid. Ngeshwa, lesi sicelo sashaywa indiva futhi sanqatshwa ngokuqinile nguMqondisi we-DEA u-Anne Milgram, naye "ovimbele iColorado ekuthumeleni le datha". Lesi sinyathelo sibonisa imibuzo ye-DEA mayelana nempumelelo yalolu hlelo lokulawula lombuso, oselunesikhathi esingaphezu kweshumi leminyaka.
Ngaphandle kweColorado, umholi ekulawuleni insangu, esikhundleni salokho uhlanganisa Ummeli Jikelele waseNebraska kanye ne-Bureau of Tennessee's Investigation, abangabaphikisi abakhulu bokuhlela kabusha insangu, kuyilapho iNebraska okwamanje izama ukuvimba abavoti ekuvoteleni isiphakamiso sensangu yezokwelapha esigunyazwe ngoNovemba. Lokhu kuphakamise ukukhathazeka okukhulu phakathi kwemboni kanye nomphakathi mayelana nokungakhethi kwayo. Ummeli uphinde wathi i-Drug Enforcement Administration ikubambezele ngamabomu ukulethwa kobufakazi obubalulekile kwaze kwaba ngaphambi nje kokuqulwa kwamacala, yeqa ngamabomu ukubuyekezwa kwesayensi koMnyango Wezempilo Nezinsizakalo Zabantu (HHS) futhi yaphuca zonke izinhlangothi ezisekela ukuhlelwa kabusha kwensangu ilungelo labo. ukubamba iqhaza ezinqubweni ezisobala nezingenzeleli.
Lesi siphakamiso sithi ukuthunyelwa kwedatha okunjalo ngomzuzu wokugcina kwephula uMthetho Wenqubo Yokuphatha (i-APA) kanye noMthetho Wezinto Ezilawulwayo (CSA), futhi kubukela phansi ubuqotho benqubo yamacala. Lesi siphakamiso sidinga ukuthi ijaji liphenye ngokushesha izenzo ze-Drug Enforcement Administration, okuhlanganisa nokuxhumana okungadalulwanga phakathi kwezinhlangano eziphikisana nokuhlelwa kabusha kwensangu. Ummeli ucele ukudalulwa okugcwele kokuqukethwe okufanele kwezokuxhumana, wakuhlehlisa ukuqulwa kwecala, wabe esebamba ukulalelwa kobufakazi obuyisipesheli ukuze abhekane nezinsolo zokungaziphathi kahle kweDrug Enforcement Administration. Ngaso leso sikhathi, ummeli uphinde wacela ukuthi i-Drug Enforcement Administration isho ngokusemthethweni ukuma kwayo mayelana nokuhlukaniswa kabusha kwensangu, njengoba ikhathazekile ukuthi le nhlangano ingase idlale indima yabo bobabili abasekeli nabaphikisana nalo mthetho ohlongozwayo.
Ngaphambilini, kube nezinsolo zokuthi i-DEA yehlulekile ukuhlinzeka ngolwazi olwanele lofakazi futhi yavimba ngokungafanele izinhlangano zabameli nabacwaningi ukuthi beze ekulalelweni. Abagxeki baphikisa ngokuthi izenzo ze-DEA azigcini nje ngokubukela phansi inqubo yokuhlela kabusha ukulalelwa kwensangu, kodwa futhi zenza buthaka ukwethembela komphakathi ekhonweni le-ejensi lokuqhuba izinqubo zokulawula ezinobulungiswa nezingachemi.
Uma lesi siphakamiso sivunyiwe, kungase kubambezeleke kakhulu ukulalelwa kabusha kwensangu kusigaba okwamanje okuhlelelwe ukuthi kuqale ngasekupheleni kwale nyanga futhi kuphoqe i-US Drug Enforcement Administration ukuthi ihlole kabusha indima yayo kule nqubo.
Njengamanje, ababambiqhaza embonini yensangu kulo lonke elase-United States baqaphe ngeso lokhozi ukuqhubeka kokulalelwa, njengoba ukuguqulwa kokuhlelwa kabusha kwensangu kuSheduli III kuzonciphisa kakhulu umthwalo wentela kanye nezithiyo zocwaningo zamabhizinisi, ezimele ushintsho olubalulekile kunqubomgomo yensangu yase-US. .
