Political assassinations, murders, and violence continue to escalate as Mexico’s elections approach. In the 10 months since the election cycle started, nearly 130 political candidates were murdered.

The most recent took place this week in Buena Vista Michoacan when a team of cartel gunmen shot and killed Javier Ureña Gonzalez, the acting mayor for the municipality as he visited a small village.

This sounds like The Cankle’s kind of politics.

Maybe she wants to be President of Mexico? Someone convince her this is a good idea. Think of the humanitarian impact she could have on the evil United States ran by that Nazi Donald Trump.

the taxes are so high on the good pot that people are still buying illegal weed in CA.

If the potheads were allowed to grow it themselves it would be almost free.

It is easier to grow pot than tomatoes.

All Uniparty Rinos care about are donations. Give your Congress critter’s campaign committee a $1000 and see how much he wants to be your friend.

Maybe a scraped knee a bandaid can cover. The cartels had added opium to the mix in fear of CA legalization, but there were no worries after all: the taxes are so high on the good pot that people are still buying illegal weed in CA.

Exactly. Furthermore, Legalizing pot only legitimizes the cartels and brings them into the government. Is that what people want? To legalize this money stream into politics?

Making marijuana legal will have absolutely zero effect on Mexico.

Mexico is a narco state that will, and already has, turned to opioids, such as fentanyl, carfentanyl, etc. as a replacement. That is no excuse to legalize marijuana.
