"Combined with federal restrictions and threats made to banks about doing business with marijuana providers, this ensures that businesses known to carry large amounts of cash will be transporting that cash without professional protection. You couldn't create a situation more ripe for criminal intervention if you tried. It's like the directive was written by petty thugs rather than by one of the most powerful agencies of the US government."

Yes deputy, it does seem like the DEA directive is written by petty thugs, because you made it seem that way. Problem is, it doesn't exist.
