The agenda for the publicly funded conference, held at the prestigious U.S. Grant Hotel from May 10 through May 13, is not available to the public. In fact, the conference is under the close guard of about a dozen San Diego Police officers and even some military personnel.

We do know that former U.S. Drug Czar Barry McCaffrey was a featured speaker. According to his press release, McCaffrey laid out talking points against California’s Tax Cannabis 2010 initiative. That’s right, your tax dollars are essentially being used to hold an anti-reform campaign rally behind closed doors.

I guess it isn’t enough that our hard earned tax money is spent on terrorizing families and giving old women heart attacks with paramilitary SWAT raids for the “crime” of using drugs, now we have to watch as more of our hard earned income is spent on secret meetings to try and figure a way to keep voters from having their way.
