“Who is buying all the f*cking drugs these cartels are selling? Americans, that’s who. Legalize it, produce it ourselves, tax it, and let natural selection take it’s course.”
I don’t disagree, EC. The problem with these Mexican gangs is we would also have to legalize identity theft, human smuggling, prostitution, illegal immigration, etc. etc.
Unless I hear a compelling argument to the contrary, I have to disagreee about the human smuggling, illegal immigration and identify theft - they are, I believe, for the most part unrelated to the drug trade and would continue regardless. As for the prostitution, legalize that as well and make the hookers pay taxes (and enforce super stiff penalties for those engaging in human smuggling/slavery activities to support their prostitution businesses - life in prison or death perhaps). Bottom line = hundreds of millions saved on the war against drugs and prostitution and hundreds of millions gained in tax revenues.
