MEXICO CITY – President Felipe Calderon said he would consider a debate on legalizing drugs Tuesday as his government announced that more than 28,000 people have been killed in drug violence since he launched a crackdown against cartels in 2006.

Won't take long at all to reach 100,000 and then some... If they all kill each other we won't have to worry about immigration. /s Unless they all come here instead...

[Eagles2003]

Let’s reflect, illegals only kill about 4000 Americans each year in our own country. DUI’s, etc.

Do the math.

Mexico is one screwed up country.

Its a good idea. The war on drugs gets innocent people as well as the guilty killed. All because governments want to “protect” junkies from themselves by regulating or prohibiting them from putting substances in their own bodies of their own free will...

“...Calderon said he would consider a debate on legalizing drugs...,” and tell Obamao to do it.

[Doulos1]

I disagree, making drugs legal is sanctioning their use. Legalizing hard drugs is taking the stigma away. We took the stigma away from pre-marital sex, what happened ? We took the stigma away from out of wedlock births, what happened? Same would happen with hard core drugs.
I think a simpler solution. Druggie colonies- similar to leper colonies of the Middle Ages. Isolation, reduces the contagion, says your helpless and incurable, and will result in a safer general public. IMHO

That puppet/toady Demuckrat will try anything to favor the Mex. Watch how obamao treats any “leader” south of the border. It’s disgusting.

Smoking and alcoholism both carry a huge stigma, and yet cigarettes and alcohol are still legal. Frankly, it is ridiculous and hypocritical to have a situation were alcohol and tobacco are legal and most other recreational drugs are not.

Legalising the drugs which are currently illegal would make them much, much cheaper and with fewer impurities, which may make a lot of addicts more functional. It would also reduce the instances of crime perpetrated by desperate addicts searching for a fix if they were as cheap as a bottle of beer.

As for the addicts themselves, I am rather indifferent to them. They choose what to put in their bodies and the consequences they suffer are only of concern to me insofar as how they affect innocent people. I believe the interests of the latter would be better served by legalising drugs and kicking the revenue stream away from organised criminals and terrorists, as well as making the drugs so cheap that most addicts wouldn't need to commit serious crimes against the innocent to get the money they need to pay for them.
