This week Vice President Joe Biden heads south of the border to meet with Mexican President Felipe Calderon and a number of presidents from Central American countries including Costa Rica and Guatemala who "have said in recent weeks they'd like to open up the discussion of legalizing drugs"

Legalizing drugs in the US is something that has to be decided by Congress, not by our Vice-Buffoon and the presidents of Mexico and Central American countries. And Congress is nowhere near ready to legalize drugs, so we'll continue squandering billions to prop up the price of drugs for the drug lords while our police departments buy military hardware to use on citizens and we lock up people who've done no harm to anyone but themselves.

But once legal, there will be ‘licenses’ to distribute and dispense and the Drug Lords will have a monopoly on the licenses. Of course they will lower prices once they bring the volume up and they can do this by processing product with some addictive additives. Next they get control of more hedge funds on Wall St. and do a multi-billion dollar IPO on their new smokes and then they pay off politicians to crush Phillip Morris with devastating restrictions. Phillip Morris will maybe want in on the new smokes action but the Drug Lords will merely behead them and dump the severed parts in the vicinity of OWS who will in turn cheer the decapitation of the evil tobacco magnates.

Oh what a wonderful world it will be to behold. Can’t wait!
