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?
Yes. It would also clear-out the National Parks of Naughty Vegetable growers who usually pack heat and leave a mess.
But the big bucks are in coca processing - why cant we grow that here? Is there something geographical about coca? I am sure Boulder CO or Aspen has the same geo weather as does Peru?
Allow individuals to grow their own naughty vegetables and the cartels are toast.
