Overkill

Doesn't it seem like the Massachusetts State Police and the National Guard should have more pressing work to do than busting an 81 year old woman for a single marijuana plant? Needless to say the woman was livid and felt like her 4th amendment rights had been violated. Medical marijuana is legal in her state but she doesn't have a card because there is no local dispensary so she had been growing one plant to help ease her glaucoma, arthritis and insomnia. Apparently the DEA gave the state $60,000 for marijuana eradication...but why spend it all on one little old lady with one measly pot plant?
