And here in Oregon, pretty much all illicit drugs have been decriminalized, and soon here 'magic mushroom' shops will be as normal as pot shops.
Swear to god people have gone completely insane!

The drug cartels aren't interested in selling small amounts of pot to individuals for personal use. They want to move volume.

I don't smoke pot anymore (it's been more than 40 years since I smoke it regularly), but I suppose I have a problem with it being legalized for personal use. The problem with that, though, is where are you going to get it? You can legally have it, but that's miles away from being able to legally obtain it...

People will still buy illegally. California saw no decrease in illegal weed sales when they legalized it. Why? The legal stuff was 4x the cost of street weed, and the feds keep a database of everyone who buys it.

Agreed. Legalizing pot is the exact opposite of what cartel marketers want. Last I checked, selling illegal weed accounts for around 50% of a drug cartel’s total profits. These cartels make a lot of profit off lacing other drugs with cheaper fentanyl, but take away half of their total profit that’s a large cut.

Feds keeping pot under the same drug classification as heroin is total idiocy, and only about 30 to 40 years behind in addressing the issue.

Here in Oregon there are huge illegal grows now, and they have skyrocketed. And at the same time, we are discovering that the cartels are using slave labor to maintain them. Right here in our own fucking country, thanks to goddamned fucking potheads!!!!!!!!!!1

Here is why: The US federal government is ignoring the growing cartel activity. Their primary locations (like Chicago) across the states have been known for years, yet we only read about innocent deaths due to territorial disputes. When cartel members are apprehended-typically low rung drug runners apprehended at the border- they are released within 24 hours. When interviewed say they will do it again the next day- the fine is always paid so they’re immediately released when caught crossing the border illegally. Over and over this pattern goes on by the hour, the numbers are unknown.

Let’s look at the rough estimate of illegal entry composed of people who avoid being vetted:

“This week, U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced that apprehensions of illegal immigrants surpassed 2.1 million for the fiscal year in August, with more than 203,000 apprehensions last month alone, marking six straight months of southwest border arrests exceeding 200,000.”

TPPF report explains, is that the cartels “increasingly supplant the legitimate sovereignty of the Mexican state with their own — often in cooperation with major elements of that state. The qualitative difference since 2018 has been the near-open role of the current Mexican president in allowing, and perhaps even participating in, that cooperation.” Indeed, by some estimates cartels now control up to 40 percent of Mexican territory.”

With Cartels Looming, The Border Crisis Is The Tip Of The Iceberg

Amid record numbers of illegal border-crossers, a larger crisis looms in Mexico with dire implications for the United States.

Added note- The cartels also work in conjunction with gangs such as MS-13 in distribution and selling. The corruption within Mexico will continue to spread north into the states and into more of the positions of authority, unless it is a full on effort to wipe out! Our federal government is closing their eyes and their negligence encourages more illegal entries to freely come into the states.

Clamp down on the border with stringent measures and repercussions, and target each drug cartel taking them down that are openly functioning within our cities. Separate the cartels from the US residents who grow their own pot in small quantities for personal use. Jails are full of the latter and where are these cartel members? They have no worries their dealer bails them out and they leave the country for a while and come back again.
