What good is winning a war against terrorists in Afghanistan if we lose our country to drug cartels from Mexico? Just asking.
Yeh...like since the 1920’s.....
Gotta keep those naughty vegetables away from folks who make bad decisions for themselves.
On the subject of drug cartels intimidating and buying political power, Killing Pablo, is an excellent read (the story of the rise and eventual fall of Pablo Escobar in Columbia.)
The simplest, fastest and cheapest way to kill the crime syndicates and take all their money and win the war on drugs is to legalize them. The war was lost when the first law was passed.
Just a question,
If marijuana was legal to be grown here in the U.S. by private individuals as is tobacco, would that hurt the cartels?
I know the lawyers, counselors and such would be hurt but would the cartels?
