You are mixing pot and cocaine and making claims based on that incorrect association, it only proves you do not actually know anything on the subject of drugs and their affects.

If you're referring to the legalization of all substances, then yes I do know what im speaking of first hand experience tells me that if all the substances were legal then there would be an age restrictions, lawful identification, less violence and crime, etc.
And trust me I know the effects of drugs, I do research and cross reference my sources
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?
It's not the drug user's fault. It's the fault of our government to make it a crime supposedly worthy of such punishment to the ppl that partake of it. Of course, by making decreasing the supply, the price is allowed to increase dramatically, maximizing the cartel.

A secure border fence would stop 97% of the drug importation and bankrupt the cartels. They would no longer have any reason to fight each other and kill thousands of innocents. This could be done for a few billion dollars, but what the heck, it is just another shovel ready stimulus project.
People who want to legalize drugs just don't care about the staggering amount of child abuse that would result from addict parents.
America is circling the toilet bowl and will soon be flushed away.
wake up and smell the coffee.. as long as it's illegal cartells will thrive!!!! doesn't matter if you build a fence around the whole country..
they will just grow it here, manufacture it here, simple as that.. legalization is the only way to kill the cartels..
If it's legal or not the Cartels will still be right here in the buisness, they are not a few retard Mexicans selling drugs, they are a highly organised buisness that will not just go away, wake up to the facts.

Well said. My thoughts exactly. People complain about drug violence and the war on drugs, but if selfish idiots didn't use drugs it would all disappear overnight. If you use drugs, you are directly responsible for the people that get murdered over them.
