Oregon just busted an open-air, in plain sight, 91,000 plant grow operation run by 5 Mexican citizens on public land. The pot farm ran through a ravine for over 3 miles, had irrigation piping and had been there for at least 5 years. Some drug war we're fighting.
Name a successful black market for anything commonly used in the United States. They don't exist because they can't compete with Safeway, Walgreens, Costco, etc.
Bottom line, of all the recreational drugs, we must legalize marijuana now and put American farmers to work instead of Mexican farmers.
Remember, the addicts and young people you talk about, as excessive users, are our own families and friends whom suffer far more from getting caught than from getting high on marijuana.
The hard drugs such as cocaine, meth, and opiates I am not ready for full legalization because the producers are largely foreign and often military enemies and our government is unwilling to take the drug war fully to them.
