“Well, considering that the Feds are not going to be going after pot anymore, they BETTER legalize it or we will have Mexican gangs living in our national forests growing weed. THAT is NOT something we need.”
Way TOO late. Armed Mexican Drug cartels have thousands of acres under cultivation in the NW, and all over this nation. I do agree at this point, the only way we will rid ourselves of the Mexican drug cartels growing in our national parks and forests is to make the stuff legal. Though they do keep busy in the off season brewing meth, which we simply cannot legalize.

Lots of photos of these grows.
If we go in and slaughter and burn a bunch of those Mexicans in one place in a way that says it will happen elsewhere, we might just stop things. Before judges, mayors, and other elected officials get in on the take. Like Mexico.
I can’t argue with that, I live in Oregon so I know what you are talking about. However, legalizing it will make it so much cheaper that it will no longer be profitable for the Cartels to bother with. The exact same reason bootleggers went out of business when prohibition ended.
