Some of the gangs importing the pot from Mexico or Canada may have terrorist ties.

Your handle is interesting in itself. Yes, some money spent on imported pot finds its way into terrorist hands, as did money for speakeasy drinks during prohibition.

A) as a legal product, the Columbian narco-terroristas would be as out of luck as a 30's bootlegger.

B) By the best estimates I read, about 50% of hooch consumed in the US is grown in back yards, basements, or spare bedrooms. It has been many years ago, but I speak from experience, the weed is incredibly easy to grow.

Sorry, but banning marijuana is on a par with repealing the law of gravity to aid fuel efficiency. It CAN'T BE DONE. The Columbians have made a good faith effort and it has cost them the lives of their best and brightest. Imagine if we had had any group for any reason come in and assasinate half of our Supreme Court Justices, not to mention the various and sundry mayors, prosecutors and family members of same. All this considered, I am astonished the Columbians bother to pretend to take us seriously anymore.

So put them out of a job and legalize the stuff. Al Capone never would have been in business without Prohibition.
