Looks the DEA cares more about their image than helping kids go to college:

(Columbia) The local Drug Enforcement Agency is pulling out of a partnership with the University of South Carolina because of their new "Four strikes and you're out" drug policy. "Based on come recent decisions by the University on relaxing their drug policy, we decided it was not a good idea for the DEA to stay associated with the university policy," said John Ozaluk of South Carolina¹s DEA. "That's why we pulled our name off the support list for the golf tournament."

The tournament raised money for a scholarship fund in honor of a fallen DEA agent. The university has not commented on the situation.

    LOL The DEA is an archaic orginization that will soon be resorting to Bush-type tactics to recruit men and women to serve for them.

    You would think the university was teaching "Horticulture of Marijuana 101" or something. Unbelievable. Hell yeah Johnny, there is an old dub song that says that..."Rasta Man no work for the DEA, no way...Scotland Yard, KGB, neither the CIA"
