Interesting info, thanks.

I figured that historically there has always been pot smuggled in from Mexico; I was curious if they had branched out at all.

It’s a lot of violence and crime over a weed that makes people mellow, sleepy and hungry.

And over a weed that you could easily grow in your window box or front yard planting bed if it weren't for the cops ready to inflict even more violence against you for doing so.

Imagine what could happen if we had the guts to cut off over 60% of the cartels' income.

Mexican drug trafficking organizations now control the biggest part of the wholesale drug distribution networks in the U.S. The Colombians have pretty much allowed them to take over distribution of their cocaine. They're producing some heroin and smuggling more in from South America, although that's a minor portion of their business. There just isn't that much demand for heroin here. They're producing meth in Mexico and here. They're producing a lot of the marijuana that's being grown here too. They haven't been involved much with indoor growing, but if you pay attention you'll notice more and more Hispanic names in the busts of indoor marijuana growing operations. These guys are really taking over the drug business. They're making so much money that they've hired private armies and completely corrupted the Mexican government with bribes. Those that won't take their money are threatened and in many cases killed. They are completely destabilizing the Mexican government and they are a definite threat here as well.

It does more than that...

There is a much greater number of women who avoid marijuana. Usually in teenagers, it is a far greater number of the boys...

It makes them feminized, docile, lazy and in many cases dishonest sneak thieves...

When the chronics don't get their stuff they become bitchy, vindictive and very petty over some of the stupidest things. I saw lots of fistfights over pot(and worse) in highschool.

I think with the whole drug issue most people ignore the real danger...

It has been chemical warfare against young people in this country and in the West since the 1960s.
