Cars can also be made locally, but many are not. If US legalized drugs, it doesn't mean everyone else will too. Why should the countries which produce drugs stop producing then just because US changed a law? That kind of thinking is horribly naive. Did Morocco stop producing hashis when Holland decriminalized it? No, they ramped up production to supply increasing demand.
Most drugs can be produced locally a bit more easily than cars. Ever heard of grow lights or bathtub meth?

It is incredible people think crime disappears if drugs are legalized.
funny how most of the organized crime mostly disappeared when they lifted the prohibition of alcohol
alcohol is legal in most developed countries..
if marijuana was legal in most developed countries the organized crime and corruption associated with it would go like it did with the prohibition of alcohol.. every country would grow their own and sell to the local populous..
The cost to manufacture any of the normal illicit drugs is quite cheap. All the markup is in the risk premium to smuggle them in and around the country, and trying to retail a banned commodity. If they were legalized the could be sold at a price so low that there'd be no profit for the cartels to try to smuggle them in illicitly any more. And any companies that want to sell them would have to be licensed. That process would weed out anyone involved in the illicit trade.

I understand you want easier access to drugs to feed your addictions, but people do get killed in the trade. It is a fact, not a matter of opinon. Legalization will not make the crime disappear.
USE is not ABUSE
