Not much going on in Mexico that is legitimate, so many areas where people grow crops to eat also feature lots of pot and other drug fields.
My wife was from the middle of Mexico and she says drugs are cultivated everywhere and the people have a disconnect regarding the damage to others they are doing.
They want their money, alcohol and parties.
I don’t want my wife visiting there. I figure she could easily be kidnapped or worse.
The country really sucks right now.
There is also a massive drought going on, so no food to eat or as many drug crops to cash in on right now.
It’s a nightmare, those buying supplies for food could find themselves dead as others want to take their supplies.
It all sucks IMO.

NOGALES, Ariz. - U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the Nogales Port of Entry have seized more than 4,500 pounds of marijuana found inside a tractor trailer loaded with vegetables.
Authorities say the 184 bales of marijuana has an estimated street value of nearly $11 million.
They say the marijuana was mingled in with a shipment of bell peppers and cucumbers that originated in Sinaloa, Mexico and was destined for Nogales.
Officers working the Mariposa cargo facility say they noticed an anomaly Monday while they were scanning the tractor trailer through their mobile x-ray unit. A detection dog searched the shipment and alerted officials to the presence of narcotics.
The bell peppers and cucumbers were off-loaded and the marijuana was discovered.
Authorities say the 21-year-old driver — a Mexican citizen — was arrested and turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement for further investigation and processing.
