About 50% of drug profits to Mexican mobs come from pot.
If pot were a commercial crop in the U.S., our producers would grow better quality at a cheaper price, putting the Mexican pot growers out of business.
With 50% less money available to destabilize the Mexican government, we would have a less volatile neighbor on our border.
Pot is widely available and grown in the U.S. It is doubtful that anyone who wants pot cannot already get it.
My neighbor has a commercial pot farm, and nobody is going to bother him about it. The local DA has told the police not to bring him any pot cases. Medical marijuana is legal in Oregon.
Governments shouldn’t have laws that are universally disrespected. It creates an environment of general disrespect for the law.
Prohibition of alcohol failed. Prohibition of pot has failed.
Get over it. The war on Pot has failed.
Legalize it, take the profits away from the drug gangs, and give the profits to ingenious American farmers.
May God continue to bless both of them.
