no, I don’t mean to be rude but your agruments are lousy and don’t make sense. Pot is a hallucinagenic drug and has bad effects on people and is carcenogenic when smoked. At least wine and beer have some positive effects on the body when drunk in small quantities and will not have a mind effect if drunk a little bit. Not so with pot...it is pure escape, period. The mexicans wouldn’t be growing it here if we had better control of our southern border which is actually improving now.

My arguments don't make sense? What you are saying here makes absolutely no sense at all. As we tighten the borders we're going to see more Mexicans growing pot in our national forests, not less. It doesn't take millions of illegals to grow tons of pot. A few guys can set up a few thousand plant grow and leave a couple behind to tend to the plants. As we tighten the borders and make it harder to smuggle cheap Mexican grown pot in, it will make more and more sense for them just to grow it here.

Understand what we are dealing with here. These are massive drug trafficking organizations who are raking in billions of dollars every year. They probably supply the majority of the marijuana consumed in this country. They certainly supply several thousand tons. That's what our government believes. These Mexican drug trafficking organizations are dead serious about making this money too. Look at all the articles about dozens of bodies showing up all the time in border towns. They're fighting over smuggling routes. As we start to close off some of these smuggling routes, it will become more expensive for them to bring in their marijuana. These drug trafficking organizations expect to lose a few loads now. It is a cost of doing business to them, a tax. But if it becomes a lot more expensive for them hire smugglers to get the stuff over here and they lose a lot more loads, more and more of them will just start setting up growing operations up here so they don't have to smuggle it across the border. That's just what's bound to happen. We're already seeing it begin. And my bet is that the next thing we start seeing is Mexicans getting heavily involved with indoor growing operations as well like the Asian gangs have done up north. The DEA are already seeing evidence that this is starting to occur, and you can bet your bottom dollar that we'll see a lot more of it as we tighten border security.
