I don't know how many of you have witenessed the violence happening in Mexico. The police and the drug lords are in a full fleded war. And guess what, the police are losing.
Of course, we, the Americans, are driving all this with our thirst for drugs: pot and coke being the two highest. I don't use either now but I have tried both, especially pot. Of course, I use alcohol, a drug that in my mind is worse than either pot or coke. And if you throw tobacco into the mix, then pot and coke are health drugs. And we subsidize tobacco production by giving them subsidies along with other rich farmers.
How hypocritical can we be? Our hypocricies are costing hundreds of people their lives and is destabilizing an emerging country.
The answer is simple. Legalize pot and then tax it. See how that works out and then consider coke. Make it legal and put the bad guys out of business. The other option is the drug on wars and we all know how well that is working despite the billions we continue to spend on it each year.
