Legalizing Pot will make Mexican Cartels MORE DANGEROUS!!

Maybe we can legalize cocaine, heroin, and prostitution too? Wouldn't it be interesting to have a "war" fought entirely by expanding freedom?
 
Wider decriminalization would push the price of pot down, taking away a key revenue stream for cartels like Los Zetas and La Familia. It’s pushing them to dive deeper into illegal markets for other drugs.

Thank God that these murderous gangs aren't getting involved in any of those other lucrative illegal markets. :rolleyes:
 
If our government really wanted these gangs to be "less dangerous", they would stop selling them guns bought with taxpayer money.
 
Don't even need to read the article or even get the full context because of these two things:

Look at the booze industry.
Look at the tabaco industry.

Setting the marijuana industry up in similar manners (minus the bullshit "sin" tax) would leave a relatively safe and healthy market for the product.
 
This is one of those articles where you don't even have to read it to get stupider.

The only things to be analyzed are who wrote it, and why. And if they were high.
 
The comments I read were uniform in calling this article idiotic.

Those substances ---and prostitution ----are LEGAL.

You meant to say we can DECRIMINALIZE.......

They would be more dangerous initially because they would become desparate, which is why we should put the troops in Afghanistan on the Mexican border and actually defend this country
 
"Cartel"

Just when did that term start being used for the Growers and Merchants?

I think it was about the same time as the CIA got involved in the drug trade.. The Cocaine Cowboys changed the whole atmosphere. What used to be friendly free trade,, turned very dangerous.

What started as Growers and merchants,, Land owners,, and poor dirt farmers,,has now become "cartels".

The Los Zetas (and others)were an American creation. They were trained in Georgia. They were suppose to drive out competition and take over the trade.
 
Wait, did this article really just argue that marijuana should be kept on Schedule 1 because it is (relatively) safe?

Most dangerous right? And Pot is the ONLY Schedule 1 substance, right? And NO POT OVERDOSES have EVER been reported? And every other drug has had Overdoses reported?

W?

T?

F?
 
The new brown boogy-man is coming after your children...:eek:


Boogity-boogity!

I rather have a brown boogie man starting $hit 800 miles away from me than a bunch of genocidal maniac's with less integrity just itching to throw flash bang grenades over flowers.
 
Don't worry, Govt will protect you from all those Evil Brown People too. We'll free the shit out of them!
 
Following it even further, the US government should subsidize the cartels.


Oh, I think you are ON to something. Since the Cartels will become DANGEROUS and start killing and kidnapping and sex trafficking and causing horrible things over the globe...In essence...the CARTELS are TOO BIG TO FAIL!


After we make weed legal, we need to BAIL OUT the cartels!!
 
Seriously speaking, the banks that launder the drug cartel's money, and terrorist organization's money have been deemed too big to prosecute. Eric Holder testified that.

Shit's a joke.
