The cartels will move over here all the way to keep up their bidness.

I would be for legalizing drugs if we found a way to protect society from the addicts who would not be able to support themselves and their families (therefore, suck off welfare and social security benefits from taxpayers) and who would victimize others as they go morally and mentally insane. We would have an increase in addicts and they would suck us dry. But the cost of the drug war to liberty is too high a price to pay now.

If Mexico legalizes drugs, we should demand they open their borders as we have so they can keep their customers.

I agree that Mexico should legalize the drugs and support all of the addicts that come their way.

They're already here growing pot in our national parks. If marijuana were regulated like alcohol, the cartels would lose the revenue they currently receive from illegal marijuana. Do you agree on that point?

In the first bolded part, you make legalization contingent on shielding us from the effects of more addicts etc.

In the last bolded part, you seem to be saying the cost to our liberties is too high to continue the drug war, therefore restore our liberties even if it means more addicts.

Would you clarify?
