Oh good. Now they can come over the border drugged up.
You are seeing what happens when the the effect of law is worse than the drugs.
More people are being killed by the drug gangs than by the drugs themselves. The illegality of drugs has given criminal gangs various ways to make money, and with that, a reason to strictly enforce their financial stake in illegal drug operations.
Making small amounts of drugs un-illegal (pardon the term, but it fits) stops some low-level corruption by local authorities and changes the stakes for the big dealers. In addition, it throws more weight on personal management and family in dealing with these problems.
Think about the problems Mexico is enduring before casting stones.
For what it’s worth, I believe that California will legalize pot before the end of 2010.
Maybe our addicted will move there and enjoy the freedom to
live with the suppliers? Is there a fund I can donate to that will hire buses with one way tickets to Mexico?
