The only solution to the problem is take the money out of it.

The only way to take the money out of it is to decriminalize it here. I proposed we do that and spend the money we spend now on ineffective law enforcement and incarceration on end-user treatment programs.

What we are doing now darn sure doesn’t work, and has a multi-decade history of not working.

The drug warriors will be along soon to flame me. To them, I say one definition of insanity is continuing to do those things that have not worked in the past.

Legalize it, get serious about the war on drugs, whatever. The fact is, it is the MONEY that gives the cartels their strength. Until we do something to reduce the profit margin, it is hopeless.

The idea that restricting our second amendment rights will somehow make Mexico safer is bullsh@t. The President of Mexico coming up here and asking us to gut our gun rights while saying nothing about the money proves he is just a sock puppet for the drug cartels.
