The issue is when you makes something that is in demand that makes people intoxicated, you drive the market underground and make gangsters rich.
I don't know how many times we have to go through this in the states before everyone gets it and ignorance is not displayed so widely on the internet and at the ballot box. Economics 101.
In answer to your 3rd question, so what?
I believe it also goes to the basic mentality. My father was on his own at 16, both parents died. He was then raised on the streets in Los Angeles. I learned a lot from the streets of Los Angeles, but neither of us fell for the trap of those gangs. I believe it goes back to the families of these kids.
The joys of open borders - where are those amnesty idiots Juan McCain, Graham-nesty and Mel Martinez?
Hum, it took the BBC in the UK to report this.
Drudge had a story months ago how free web sites were killing the porn business. I wonder if legalization of drugs would do the same thing.
If people want to smoke dope there should be a few rules or laws:
1. You cause an accident smoking dope it is like drunk driving or worse.
2. You cannot smoke around other people in public. No secondhand smoke.
3. Private health insurance or/and if you are a senior ddoper or former doper - you buy a Mecicare supplement insurance because you probably screwed your health and lungs.
I am not sure how you deal with kids???
“Convicted of two murders (he says he killed many more), he will probably spend the rest of his life behind bars. “
How about greasing him and saving the cab fare.
When push comes to shove, the BP Agents just thump MS-13 tat-wearing “tonks” like everyone else that slithers across the border and tries to act all billy-bad-a$$.
We are basically, on a mass scale, importing an uneducated societal underclass of because they “Work Cheap”. The problems with the offspring of this underclass are only beginning.
I generally agree with you, except #3. Just do whatever you do to smokers.
Legalization of MJ will come about eventually, but the government will muck it up. They'll prohibit home grown and force everyone to the store.
They’ll just move to smuggling incandescent bulbs soon.
I’m considering that myself. I see Europeans are doing some hoarding.

It always a matter of who is in charge, that is the real debate.
They can be stopped very easily. The government just doesn't want to do it. I also contend that many politicians actually want these gangs to thrive.
I worked street gangs for 20 years. The MS-13 are, in a word, stone cold killers. I’ve been threatened by Gangster Disciples, Vice Lord’s, Latin Kings, heck even The Outlaw motorcycle gang, but none made me grow eyes in the back of my head than the MS-13. Killing means nothing to them.
Actually were not. We have acces to everything the bad guy do and more.
Texas should change that age thingy lickety-split. Drop it down to 13.
bttt
“Actually were not. We have acces to everything the bad guy do and more.”
We’re outnumbered. Mexico has proven that they’re out gunned.
We may have ‘access’, but we don’t have LEO’s in numbers enough to make a difference. Ask any of these small county sheriffs.

Chilling. Thank you so much for your service....I suppose fewer and fewer want to do that job. Thanks for posting that testimony, too many people refuse to believe it.
Our local Sheriff, during a pot raid on a cartel farm several years ago, found a book with SUR13 scribblings in it.
Take a look:

Another photo on this page shows the ‘Virgin of Guadalupe’ candles burning in their camps.....we knew all this was going to result in forest fires like the LaBrea, set by them, that burned 88,000 acres last month.
