A friend of mine did contract SEO work for a company selling synthetic drug
similar to marijuana (before the DEA made it illegal). But they kept selling
it after it was made illegal and long after his online-marketing contract
ended. But he was contacted by the DHS, specially ICE with questions about his
prior involvement. Nothing came of it but this story shows that they do
investigate drug matters.

ICE basically investigates any sophisticated crimes and their mandate
definitely covers drugs, especially drugs that are imported from overseas.

This is part of the reason why 90% of the time the patriot act has been
invoked it has been for drug investigations and not terrorism related crimes.
