“I post in Mexico. I am quite familiar with the whole scenario”
Is the average citizen sick of the crime and drugs but powerless to do anything about it?
What is the % of citizens against the cartels?
America’s demand for illegal drugs cause them to be profitable. Our system of government makes enforcement of drug laws difficult because of our rights against illegal searches and seizures. All drug laws accomplish are raising the price and the potential profitability of drugs. The only answer is outright legalization in America and dealing with drugs as a medical rather than a law enforcement problem.
Everyone knows that the CARTEL industry brings cash abundance to the hords. Schools in Guerrero, have Poppy fields growing 50 ft from playgrounds, and kids are given money to prick the pods of amapola to make the content of the buds more juicy to yield a better cocaine harvest. The drug lords give large sums of money to rebuild roads, help hospitals, and give jobs to people to cut grass, fix food, be night watchmen. The industry brings JOBS to the poorest of the poor. MOST smaller towns WELCOME the benefits that come with the cocaine harvests.
