I don’t think we need to be so fearful of a ‘doobie’. It’s not marijuana that is causing this country so much drug-related trouble. It is crystal meth, - the cause of the majority of crime in the US. And the majority of it comes from Mexico. (I have read that 96% of the meth in this country comes from south of the OPEN border.)

Crystal meth is a terrible addiction. I lost some friends many years ago to it. I didn’t see one girl since high school & she got addicted to it. OMG She looked so pretty in high school & when I saw her before she finally died she looked like a hag. No teeth, no looks left and old beyond repair. I have a poem about it somewhere I will send you ...Pandy
you have a FReepmail ...Hugs Pandy
Maybe one “doobie” can’t kill you, but several/many can. I’ve lost friends who died from smoking pot for years. It’s horrible on the lungs. Just ask Michael Savage...Anyway, it’s a gateway drug which is reason enough to keep it illegal.
Crystal meth is so easy to manufacture, however, that when we successfully restrict the supply, domestic manufacturers will take over more of the production.
I honestly don't know why we import most of our crystal meth; I could whip up a batch of it in my bathtub after a quick trip to the store. I'd be a complete idiot to do so, given the significant risk of an explosion if I made a mistake, but I could do it.
My personal guess is that the meth is being manufactured by Mexican drug cartels, and distributed through hispanic gangs. If this is correct, then once we seal the border, the gangs will shift manufacture to local sites, and, once we break them up, manufacture will shift to an ad-hoc organization of addicts.
Meth is such a problem because it's so easy to make and so addictive; it's why it's infamous in the small towns, where the import of drugs is more difficult, similar to Marijuana.
Closing the border will certainly help, but it won't end the threat that Meth presents. Personally, I think we'll only succeed in that when we jail the adult addicts; they're the ones who are most likely to hit the intersection of knowledge and motive necessary to manufacture crystal meth domestically.
Yorkie, the Mexican Drug cartels grow in our parks and forests in the warm months and brew meth in the cold months. They’ve got it covered.
