“If drugs were largely legal in the U.S. how would Mexico and Canada be forced to bring their drug laws into alignment with the U.S. laws?”
Well, the drug laws are already much more permissive generally in Canada. They’re more like some European states in that regard. As for Mexico, is that a joke? They are teetering on the edge of becoming a narco-state right now, primarily because of our drug laws and open border policy. I doubt they would be too distressed if we took the main source of income away from the cartels.
If we made drugs legal here I don’t care what Mexico and Canada do.
If they keep drugs illegal there - all the money would be made there.
Buy pot packs at the local quick stop and tax the heck out of it. Let John and Mary put a couple pot plants in their back yard.
BUT - a person wants to do drugs? They need to make sure they work for a company that does not do drug tests. Just like tobacco these days.
