Legalizing drugs will not succeed in stopping the violence and definitely not stop the flow of money.

U.S. stoners are the ones driving this situation. Without customers the Cartels would have no reason to send heroin, meth, and marijuana north.

Either drug money supports the drug cartels or it doesn't. Two opposite premises cannot describe reality.

LOL! There are no two premises in my statements but part and parcel of the same argument.

Legalizing drugs will not stop violence nor stop the flow of money to the drug cartels. The Mexican Cartels have an infrastructure already in place and they will use it to set up a black market. Legalization doesn’t work the way dopers hope it would.

Thus, the ONLY way to stop the use of addicting drugs in the U.S.A. is to execute drug traffickers and throw users into prison and force them through rehab while there. (If the treatment doesn’t take, the person keeps getting the same treatment until it does take hold.)

Legalization will not stop the flow of money and the only way to stop all this craziness is to diminish or eliminate the demand for addictive drugs.

Got it now?

Marijuana is already legal in spirit here in California. You would not believe how many medicinal shops there are now. And they advertise every where. Someone that works in a nearby business has been caught with it in his auto about 3 times now. Has not spent a single night in jail. Growing your own is the way to destroy the cartel business in that drug. Each market the cartels are involved within, requires a different solution. Heroin and Cocaine should be destroyed at their source. My 2 cents from Norte Mexico (Kalifornia).
