Drugs are a victimless crime, McKay? Gotta love some of the posters on here with zero critical thinking skills. If gun prohibition is bad, and alcohol prohibition is bad, then drug prohibition will also be bad. You can't have it any other way. . Heres a fascinating part. Not a single one of them cares about a big wall, helicopters, submarines, CCTV, increased BP, microphones, thermal imaging, troops on the border, etc. None of it. There only one thing that theyre scared to death of. Its legalization. Each and every one of them across the board. Wanna guess why? But again, dont take my word for it. Read up on it on your own and get the facts, right from their own mouths. Or continue living in ignorance because learning is hard. I dont care. Unless you yourself make a living off of prohibition too. Then I can understand your position. Neither side wants the money train to stop. |

So what? You think they're just going to stop running black market drugs and stop killing each other (and anyone who gets in their way) all of a sudden? Stopping the WoD won't stop the gangs.

There was an interesting documentary on netflix about the cartels, police, and government.
It's pretty much the circle of life down there. The vigilante group of citizens that started killing the cartel and driving them out of the town soon became the new cartel, and just as bad as the people they were getting rid of. The government had no control over the situation, so they offered amnesty to cartel members if they became cops, which most of them did. And by "become cops" they literally walked into the police station and got handed their polos with a badge on them. Now they're cops. Still doing all the same criminal shit. I will never step foot in that country. |

I spent time in Apatzingan and Nueva Italia. The only reason those towns exist is the drug trade.
That's not to say that everyone is directly involved with the trade, but that it's the largest industry, and most of the money in the town's ultimately comes from it. Lots of good people there, however. People struggling just to figure out where tomorrow's food will come from. |

Legalization would crush profitability for banks, collapse many economies around the world, and destabilize existing financial networks, while pulling smuggling networks from the intelligence services of every G-20 nation.

If you want to compare today's dope trade and alcohol prohibition of the 1930s, you have to realize that alcohol prohibition was repealed over 80 years ago, nobody was killed/wounded smuggling illegal alcohol in the last ten years, making that statement retarded. If they legalized all dope tomorrow we'd have to wait 80 years to see if he's right or not. View Quote |

I have lived and worked in a border town for over 20 years. Up until 10 years ago it was a quiet place. The last 10 years, there have been over 20 murders. There are only 1100 people in the town. Between the illegal immigrant and the cartels, it is a war zone. Border patrol check points, ICE plain clothes, helos in the air constantly and bodies in the desert from dehydration. People don’t understand the gravity of the situation and never will unless they see it first hand. View Quote |

This is exactly why I don't give the slightest fuck about the Mexican civilians. When they've had enough, they'll arm themselves and kill every last soul in the cartels and their families, but I wouldn't hold my breath because I'd venture to guess they'd have to kill about 70% of the population and everyone in their government to accomplish that.

Once illicit drugs are legalized here in Estados Unidos, the mexican cartels will dispose of the chainsaws, axes, and sharp knives they previously used to horrifically torture and murder the competition AND innocent bystanders with. At that point, the now-upright cartel businessmen will then aspire to wear three piece designer suits and adopt the U.S. pharmaceutical drug business model. Everything will be fine!
