“Why do you think that the gangs move in to distribute a plant product that you could easily grow in your back yard greenhouse?”

I’m not talking about marijuana but since you brought up the subject... It is being grown within National Park boundaries in the state of Oregon by Mexican gang members. There have been some spectacular murders of government personnel, Park Rangers, and tourists.

Hardly what one would call nonviolent!!

That's because they are guarding a very lucrative product. If we treated tobacco the same way as mj, we would have the same result with the tobacco trade. Do you disagree?
