That's a good question… 

Maybe for Rico charges purposes? Organized crime? 

What enforcement agency would be more appropriate here? ATF? 

I mean, I'd rather not have the local meth dealer start doing busines in nuclear enriched weed 🤷🏼‍♂️

Probably because narcotics were initially involved.  Nukes and SAMs came later.

I heard that new innovations in underground research chemical laboratories enable the smoking and vaporizing of said nuclear materials
