National Security Reasons Not To Legalize Pot: Heroin & Mexico

[EvilCat Breath]

Legalizing any crime would go a long way to reducing crime.

Legalizing pot will not impact the cartels one bit. They can have legal outlets for illegally obtained pot. They are capable of diversifying. They will distribute heroin, legalize that and cartel chemists will have something on the streets the next day.

Take the customer out. That's why the cartels target the customers of the other cartels.

After 80 years of interdiction and incarceration it's time to try a different approach.

But not blindly at the expense of Mexico. So just taking shots in the dark (a grand social experiment legalizing pot and the other drugs that will follow it); maybe this time we should put on our thinking caps.

In more peaceful times when we weren't worried about the consequences of bitch-slapping the Mexican government/cartels and sending them reeling into the loving arms of say Russia or China, maybe. But not now. Not now.

Mexico and other exporting countries are paying the price already in violence during this current round of prohibition. Americans paid the violence price during our bout with Alcohol prohibition. Now Americans are not exposed or effected by the violence of the cartels mostly. Only people south of the border, mostly.

Ending the illegal pot trade will do nothing but help Mexico. And the easiest way to end it is to legalize it.

That's not how the Mexican cartels see it. And since they're the ones in charge of importing heroin, when the pot market collapsed here for them, probably should think about that before gauging either policy or your vote...

How would you know how the Mexican cartels see anything? LOL.

Why exactly do you want more American money to go to Mexican cartels?
