Enrique “Kiki” Camarena grew up in a dirt-floored house with hopes and dreams of making a difference.

Camarena worked his way through college, served in the Marines and became a police officer. When he decided to join the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, his mother tried to talk him out it. “I can’t not do this,” he told her. “I’m only one person, but I want to make a difference.”

The DEA sent Camarena to work undercover in Mexico investigating a major drug cartel believed to include officers in the Mexican army, police and government. On Feb. 7, 1985, the 37-year-old Camarena left his office to meet his wife for lunch. Five men appeared at the agent’s side and shoved him in a car. One month later, Camarena’s body was found in a shallow grave. He had been tortured to death.

Marijuana is a substance that poses a significant threat to our youth and to the public health and safety in its consumption, distribution and cultivation.

Of approximately 14 million current illicit drug users nationally, 10.7 million use marijuana – about 76%

Long term studies of students who use drugs show that very few young people use other illegal drugs without first trying marijuana.
