You know the fastest way to resolve this is to make marijuana legal.
Legalize it and the price will drop, people will grow their own, and there’ll be no need for the economy of other Countries to depend on marijuana for export.
I do not and never did use illegal drugs, but if marijuana is THAT much of a problem to us, legalization might just be the answer. It’ll surely put some Countries into a depression greater than ours.
Growing for personal use might make sense. Probably the only way that government would ever sign on would be if growers were limited to something like a 5 ft. square plot, or 5 5 gallon buckets for growing. And probably charge a growers fee or something like that.
My husband was born in 1929. As a young man he did track labor for the railroad. He said the Mexican track laborers would plant seeds along the right of way, so they always had a little soothing smoke at the end of the day. Maybe even in the middle of the day? ;-)
Yes, I’ve come to that conclusion myself.
Decriminalize all drugs. Take the crime out of it and you will destroy the drug cartels as their product would then become very cheap and easily available. People that use drugs will do this if it is illegal or legal As an added benefit the druggies will often remove themselves from the gene pool when given access to cheap high potency drugs.
More than half the violent crime in the United States is Drug related. This costs our country 100s of billions of dollars each year.
As long as it is illegal our crime rate will be astronomic and the innocents in society pay the price. If it were legal only the guilty would pay with the damage they do themselves.
Societies first duty is to protect the innocent not prevent druggies from using drugs. Let them have all they wish and bury them when they die.

I don't do anything harder than beer. Citizens everywhere can brew their own (up to so many gallons) and share it. They just can't charge for it. I tend to look at marijuana as I do beer. Treat offences under the influence the same, but otherwise, it should be legal.
