LEGAL MARIJUANA WILL ONLY BRING MORE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY
The billion-dollar industry: marijuana sales! Amendment 2.
If Americans are going to grow it, sell it and profit from it here in
the U.S., do we really think the South American drug lords are going
to roll over and play dead from making their billions? I don't think so.
Let's think like the South American drug lord. They have two main
problems: ( 1 ) growing it safely and ( 2 ) smuggling it into the U.S.
Well, we just solved both those problems. We are now going to grow it
and sell it here. Their biggest market, the U.S., just increased
their profit by 1,000 percent.
Now they have to grow their sales force. Ten million illegals will
help but young adults are less trouble and greedier. You know, like
the well-organized and funded youth that have been crossing our
southern border.
An army could cross over. ( I'll bet our military could close it in one day. )
This is not random. Maybe this was the drug lords' plan and they have
well-paid American officials at all levels to help them set this up
over the next five years and pass more unread laws like NAFTA.
All they do now is collect. They'll contact all growers and sales
places and sell them protection. Maybe some dead bodies in some
fields or stores will make their point.
Now they can live in the U.S. instead of South America and run their
new billion-dollar business with only 25 percent of the effort. Maybe
add gambling next?
Look at the big picture. Do we really want this? We know our state
government could have made a law to help sick people who need
marijuana and didn't. So now we have a constitutional amendment vote.
Could this really happen? Vote "no!"
