CCN News LIVE: Double Standards and Drug Smuggling

POT TV – WATCH CCN News LIVE at 4PM PT on POT.TV.

Contaminated pot. Copyright lawsuits. Medical patients persecuted. Why is weed ok for some, but not for others? When does the double standard lead to death?

After headlines, CCN host Anil Sthankiya spoke to author and investigative journalist, Mara Leveritt, about her books, “The Boys on the Tracks” and “All Quiet At Mena”.

Two teenagers were found dead. The medical examiner ruled the boys had smoked too much pot, and were so high they were run over by a train. As the unlikely cause of death was questioned, layers of corruption were revealed. Had the boys discovered a secret, government-protected drug shipment in Arkansas?

At the same time the United States government was fighting a brutal war on drugs, caging and killing people across the globe, plane loads of drugs were being shipped into the US for sale, seemingly with protection from US intelligence and law enforcement agencies. In a new book, “All Quiet At Mena”, investigative journalist, Mara Leveritt, walked the history of transport pinned to Barry Seal, a government protected smuggler, and the case against him that high-level officials buried.
