Gee, so let's just legalize pot and that will eliminate the problem? LOL, don't think so.

You don't think eliminating nearly 2/3 of their revenue would be a severe blow?

Today's pot is not the pot of the hippie generation, and once that's OK, the crooks will be busy getting you hooked on the heroine they produce.

LOL! Explain why the Netherlands had a substantially lower rate of heroin addiction than Singapore, Iran and the US: link to post #146 with facts and figures

Crime is a never-ending business that requires more vigilance than ever, not capitulation.

So they should have kept Prohibition rather than "capitulate" to alcohol?

You seriously think legalizing marijuana will strip them of revenue? No, it won't. They'll continue on to produce ecstasy or new drugs, just like the Netherlands (the largest producer and exporter of ecstasy in the world) the country you keep bringing up in this weak argument. Apparently you don't remember carrying on this same dead-end argument a couple of weeks ago. I wonder why? LOL!! Go look back in your retreads. If they had gone after the crooks in Prohibition, we wouldn't have Teddy K. doing so much damage to the US today.
