You people are still buying into that monkey motion that the USA has the biggest pop of drug users. IT'S THE DOLLARS STUPID!!! If this country was dealing in pesos or any other type of money, the drug the cartels would be peddeling their drugs in some other country where it would be more lucrative. Trust me, their eyes are on CHINA! They will soon invade that country cause China is well on it's way to being quite rich and powerful. Making drugs legal would not solve anything. It would just make the drug cartels LEGAL along with the drugs.
Do you know anything about China? I don't think so. When Chairman Mao began the cultural revolution drug addicts and dealers were simply shot. The public story is that the addicts became revolutionaries and threw off their addictions as part of joining the people's revolution. In speaking with Chinese, especially those that heard of what happened from family stories, users were dragged from homes and shot in the yard. Sometimes several at a time were taken to a nearby park and executed there. The family sent a bill for the bullet. Some addicts threw themselves on what mercy they could find and stopped using to save their lives. All hail the revolution.
Today the criminals (drug use and sales are crimes) are killed as quickly as possible and the organs harvested to benefit the law abiding Chinese. There are a lot of law abiding Chinese who need transplants. Organs can also be sold throughout the world. Executions for organs are so popular that China has execution vans. Mobile execution chambers where the harvesting can immediately follow the death. I mean, we all HOPE that harvesting follows the death and no one jumps the gun. China is not a free country, if someone is under the influence, they are under the influence and don't need a trial. Why clog up the courts with drug cases? There are no Miranda Warnings, no Bill of Rights. There is no presumption of innocence until proven guilty. There is no languishing in prison complaining that there's nothing on TV. There is no Posse Comitatus which is why the army had tanks rolling over the students in Tianiamin Square.
China had almost 2,000 executions last year. Send over some hispanic cartel members and maybe that can be doubled.
