I think you mean 'Colombia.'

It is more amazing how people blame marijuana for what cocaine does, and blame drugs for things that are caused only by the war against them. You know that if it weren't illegal, the "drug trade" wouldn't do anything for Colombia that the coffee trade hasn't done.

It's like looking at the 911 WTC atrocity and saying "See what being an infidel causes?"

It's either stupid or dishonest, or both. Most likely the latter.

Let's deal with this statement.
It is vague. Misleading. And meaningless.
Drugs have screwed up Columbia because:
(a) they are illegal. Not because they are "drugs". If they were legal, their value would drop sharply. Paramilitary, communist, and terrorist groups could not use them as a source of funding. The US would not spend millions on spraying plant killing chemicals, aircraft maintenance and operational costs, and weapons and training for Columbia's military.
(b) "drugs" mainly means cocaine in the case of Columbia. Not pot.
(c) Gee, ya think if marijuana were legal conditions would change in Columbia? NO - see "a" and "b" above!

Note - the above arguments are not an argument for the total and unregulated legalization of marijuana. They are merely to the specific point that decriminalizing pot for medical purposes will have ZERO impact on the state of affairs in Columbia.

The vast, vast majority of the pot available on the market in my area is grown right here in the good ole USA.

It's amazing how many $#!# heads ignore the fact that it is the war on drugs that destroyed Columbia...

Coffee is legal... do people in Columbia die at that hands of coffee cartels? Duh!
