Considering most of the higher quality pot is grown in the US and Canada that would make this statement a failure. And, marijuana is THE LARGEST cash crop in the US. Not, corn, not soybeans.
Agreed. The quality the cartels bring in is mostly seedy, lower quality schwag.
The government doesn't own it's citizens. It has no right to tell someone what they can or cannot grow and consume, as long as it does not infringe on the rights of others.
Does driving your car and using all those petroleum based products support Muslim extremism?
Does buying all that "Made In China" products and clothing help make China on of the fastest growing economies in the world while many Americans can't find a job?
Pick your poision, America is being bled dry and there are two choices. Change or fall.
I joined the Air Force in 1990. I worked in Japan in '91, and a few years after. I joined to serve my country. I was ready to go to war. I wasn't looking forward to it, but I was ready if I was called.
So, I'm talking to this guy about people dying in the war and he's like, "Well, at least we're not killing them." and I said, "Sure we are." and he's like, "No, we're sitting here." and I'm like "Yep, sitting here making sure these communications lines stay up, so the orders to the ships and the jets make it through, so the jets will know where to fly and where to bomb, and so they can kill some people. Without us, it wouldn't be possible." And he's like, "I never thought of it like that."
Same guy. Hated gays. I told him, "I wish more people were gay. I wish 99 percent of all men were gay." And he's like "Why, are you gay or sumptin'?" and I'm like , "Nope. If 99 percent of all men were gay, that would mean ugly mother******s like me would have a chance at some really hot chicks." It took him a minute, but he got the point.
This war on drugs. It's not a war.
It's a joke. It's a travesty. It's a failed social experiment. People have been getting high in multitudes of ways for 1000's of years. I would call that pretty much ingrained behaviour
What this charade does do, though, is it does make it possible for some very bad people to have a lot of money. These people will eventually run out of people to kill and terrorize. Then, they will start looking at us. In some states, they already have. I wish America would just starve the beast by making this junk legal. All of it. Legalize everything. Let families, pastors, community centers and the police handle people who can't handle themselves. The U.S. would not implode. It would actually be stronger.
Would some people go overboard? And possibly die. Sure.
Would some not? Sure.
Drugs are here now. This problem in a Cancun bar. It's all connected. By buying Mexican drugs we make it possible for these calculating monsters to be able to kill and hurt even more people. By incarcerating our citizens and giving them a criminal record for life for a few moments of pleasure, we create our own sub-class of servants for our society. "Hey! Thought you'd get a job doing something cool? Nope! You've got a drug record! You'll be digging ditches or washing cars for the REST OF YOUR LIFE." By having so much drug money available to "fight the war", you're also incentivizing your police force and judicial system to put and have as many people in the system as possible. What the hell kind of society does this?
We're becoming a nation of criminals - or as in the case of red light cameras - the government NEEDS people to break the law so the government can get PAID, ostensibly to take better care of it's PEOPLE.
I can see it. Why can't the government see it? Why can't every one see it?
Why?
What supports the cartels is keeping pot illegal. The cartels are against legalizing pot, guess why.

Casper
Guess who else is against legalizing it?
The FDA
Big pharm
the paper industry
Many of those in law enforcement (though there are a lot in this profession that want to end prohibition too)
Guess why? Follow the money. Until someone in those lines of work grows a set and steps up to the plate and come out against it's prohibition it's going to be more of the same.

So you think if it was legalized these cartels will all of a sudden become responsible citizens? Yeah right, they will still sell drugs even if they were legalized. They would just undercut the prices.
First off, good weed doesn't come from Mexico. That crap is complete garbage. The good stuff is home grown.
