^ Calls for drug legalization have been there for quite some time - even among conservatives like Bill Buckley. I am not sure the nation is ready for it (yet). Makes sense though - our open-ended yet another war (on drugs) is not working out too well for us or our neighbors.

What's really rich is people like you who are living in one of the most violent crime ridden societies in the world, looking down at other countries.

Maybe I wasn't clear.

There is this thing called "irony."
I was referring to our drug problems that Mexico has brought into our country.

Hope this helps.

Haha the bible beating holy rollers would never allow drugs to be legalized or even decriminalized. You can go to jail for shooting testosterone up your ass nowadays! A FRIGGING HORMONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What do you expect from a pathetic country where somoene running for President thinks pornography should be banned! Haha if we left this country up to the right wing religious whackjobs like M. Bachman we'd all be living in the stone age. You legalize marijuana and you'd single handedly see this drug problem dissolve overnight. Allow American farmers to grow and governmen to tax hemp/pot and you'd balance the budget in a year. But Calderon better watch out......if that happened Mexico's economy would implode overnight. So yeah..........I'd love to get a little revenge on that craphole of a country for all the illegals they send through to us every year stealing our resources and sucking off the hardworking American tax payer. Turn about is fair play!!!!!!! I have no idea why Americans vacation in that 3rd world crap hole anymore. Spend your money in this country or Hawaii!!!!

Legalizing weed does nothing about crack, heroin, coke, the whole shabang. Of course your not taking into consideration the unintended consequences of legalizing weed like creating more drug addicts who then move onto the next best thing. Then there is the driving while smoking. Any test on the market that can detect when one is able to drive? One bong hit or two over the limit?

I agree. What the hell is wrong with south Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands? Heck, the water off Puerto Rico and the USVI is as warm or warmer than the Yucatan and the air temp is higher

Sorry, maybe I should have read you post a bit more carefully. It's just that I see many people who seem to be legitimately clueless about US-Mexico relations.

You'd have to legalize and protect it. Otherwise the cartels might get angry. And you see what happens when you mess with their system. They kill you and set your bar on fire.

Pimps and prostitutes. What happens when One pimp's girl tries to move onto another Pimp? **** gets real, that's what.
