If we legalized pot and made it entirely decriminalized, a considerable amount of money would end up in the US economy that is currently ending up in the economies of Mexico, Canada, and Jamica.

I would imagine it would also free up a lot of personal who could then go after more dangerous narcotics such as cocaine and heroin.

The influence of the Mexican Cartels is one reason pot isn’t legal. In LA gangbangers break into medical mj shops and destroy and threaten them. One of the big games in Mexico is the cartels killing people in drug treatment centers.

They will do ANYTHING to protect their fortune.

And then there is the crowd who thinks getting stoned is tantamount to murder as they foolishly help protect the cartels ‘territory’.

And little worthless regimes like Mexico who want to make sure they get a cut.
