I'll never talk again. Oh boy you've left me speechless. You've left me speechless, so speechless.

This is why would should enhance laws against users as the violence increases. They are directly responsible for funding the madness in Mexico and around the world.
We need to seize their assests like the car they got busted in (even one joint) or set a minimum $10,000 fine to fund intradiction and enforcement of anti-doper laws. Maybe if we treat them like the criminal element they are they would start getting the message: People died so your mind could be fried.
OP, I can guarantee that you have used drugs.
Nobody buys marijuana from Mexico. Yuck.
that begs the question though: wtf does all that shit go?
That shit's all bricked up and disgusting.
Thank you. One sensible poster on ATOT. The thing is your typical drug user lives in "lala land". If they had half a brain cell they would be well aware that their destructive behavior directly leads to thousands of dead people.

I cannot tell if this post is serious or not, but if it is, you are quite frankly absolutely insane. Yes, what we need are MORE drug laws that don't work. That will solve everything!

Do you feel any guilt that your casual drug use funds Mexico's narco terrorists? If I was out there smoking, snorting, or shooting it up I would wonder if it came from the Zetas, a group that recently massacred 72 innocent people en masse who refused to particpate in the drug business. If I used drugs I would be shocked, embarrased and ashamed over this.
The fault is on those who pulled the trigger. You can't blame dopers if some of the guys that grow the shit are scumbags.
Now, since people are going to use drugs no matter what, and outlawing it only forces it underground into an illegal black market, perhaps the solution is to legalize and offer better rehab solutions. Keep people off the shit not because it's "illegal", but because it'll fvck up their lives. Instead of the government "keeping them down", perhaps the government could "give them a helping hand" ...

Pull your head out of your ass. The solution to drug use is not, has never been, and never will be prohibition. Didn't we learn anything from alcohol prohibition? The things we're talking about in this thread are the very reasons alcohol prohibition was repealed. It did nothing to keep alcohol out of peoples hands, and sent the activity underground, artificially inflating prices and lining criminals' pockets.
Really, you can't see this? If we make it harder to get by making laws more strict, the violence can only increase. It will be harder to get, and it will be more dangerous to deal with. This will only make prices go up.
At least in the case of marijuana, instead of spending billions trying to eradicate a weed from the face of the planet, we could be making hundreds of millions in taxes. It's ridiculous.
I would also be in support of legalizing cocaine. Things like meth and heroin are harder, but they should probably be legalized too. The point of legalization isn't so everyone can get high. It's to take the power away from criminals, since the people that want to get high are going to get high.
There are case studies of societies with legalized drugs. What happens when drugs are legal, and people are educated? Drug use goes down. Amazing!
are you embarrassed about your own ignorance?
Im just floored by the outrageous violence going on in Mexico and cant help but think its mostly the fault of demand from dopers here in USA.
Pot? I thought the best pot came from BC.
I wouldn't smoke my dog out with mexican weed
this violence, specifically, was the result of Calderon openly declaring WAR against the drug lords when he took power, and actively sought to do so. The demand has always been there, the cartels have always been there, they have always been violent.
This particular violence is the direct result of something else, however.
stop being such a daft tool.
