“If drugs were largely legal in the U.S. how would Mexico and Canada be forced to bring their drug laws into alignment with the U.S. laws?”
Well, the drug laws are already much more permissive generally in Canada. They’re more like some European states in that regard. As for Mexico, is that a joke? They are teetering on the edge of becoming a narco-state right now, primarily because of our drug laws and open border policy. I doubt they would be too distressed if we took the main source of income away from the cartels.
I would ask what drugs would become legal under the No More War on Drugs Regime? and how?
cocaine? heroin? crack? meth? or just marijauna? and legal in what quanties? and would it be manufacture? sales? or simple pocession that would be legalized? Would imports be allowed?
