PROHIBITION ALL OVER AGAIN

We argue about the law and complain about gangs.  We accept the situation and hope it doesn't get worse.

However, it does get worse, here and in other countries.  Prohibition all over again.  The murders and bombings of the 1930s are mild stuff today.  The gangs that terrorize Mexico are growing in power, even in our own country.

We know that the largest part of the cash flow to the drug cartels is from marijuana sales billions per year.  Is there a billion-dollar industry that would not spend millions to influence favorable legislation? I think not.  Is this why the bulk of enforcement is against growing your own?
