The real motivation for the South Americans is clear. If it’s legal and they control it, they’ll all become economically relevant! Yay for Paraguay, the next economic superpower!

One definite advantage to legalizing weed would be it would cut cartel revenue, but there is a big but(t). Will the cartels all weaken or will they fight over the scraps of the coke, meth, and heroin trades? Will they take their soft control over the human smuggling routes to a new level and extort more money from the illegals?

Legalizing possession is just the start. If you do that then you still have the cartels because they are the supply. A legal supply is the only threat to them. Who provides the legal supply, and does anybody really think the government will let market forces set the price. The politicians in California already start drooling every time they talk about being able to tax marijuana.

The biggest issue with the war on drugs was that it soon became the “federal war on constitutional rights” because in order to enforce certain edicts of it they had to trample all over states rights and costitutional rights of the citizenry.

1. Legalize and regulate domestic pot.
2. Legalize prescription hard drugs.
3. Tax the hell out of all of the above.
4. Seal the border so tight that some endangered species actually do disappear.
5. Deport criminal aliens along with their entire extended family and make a second bust a permanent and isolated lock away, charged to their home country.
6. Add crime while under the influence to the "special circumstances" realm now reserved for use of a firearm.

Hah! The UN wants the US to surrender in the WOD?

Who knew their were libertarians at the UN?

[TigersEye]

Good grief! A moment of sanity crept into the UN. Must be a blue moon or something.

Because the Mexican narcoterrorists need a legal cover for their money from kidnapping, extortion, human trafficking, and gun running.
