It is interesting that no one ever mentions how buying marijuana is aiding in racketeering and vicariously particpating in the Mexicon drug wars. I know you'll think I am asking this because of my profession. But my interest is deeper.

Well put. I guess the war on drugs is failing because pot smoking is so damn important to a segment of the population, that being a criminal is justifiable.

===========================================

prefers the medical benefits of Cannabis over the pain medications
namely the nsaids drugs: being ibuprofen,MOTRIN , naproxin ,acetaminophen or
because it works better for pain and doesn't cause heart attacks
and or intestinal ulcers.

the Government is hypocritical in allowing medical facilities to provide cannabis on a state level and then go ahead in and bust the same outlet with federal DEA agents when they are the ones who made a simple god given herb "the gateway drug",
"the assassin of youth" , and lumped it in with drugs like heroin and cocaine which have no medical attributes what so ever by making it illegal in the first place .

The Government is the CRIMINAL here not the patient.

the patient is being forced by the usa government to buy their medication from the
growers....
most of which are in the southern swamp lands the same way moonshine was produced there when the alcohol prohibition
was happening....
and what did that do.... it created
the same level of violence that is happening now nation wide.

THE profitability of marijuana ONLY exists because the government made it illegal so it then became a black market item.

The Government is the criminal by forcing a patient to have to resort to obtaining their medication illegally instead of taxing it
and regulating it, ESPECIALLY when it's less harmful to society
than either tobacco and alcohol and that is unforgivable.

THEY
have been excepting bribes from the lobbyists for many decades.

the drug war is a complete FAILURE ->and OBAMA has no BALLS.

All of you who say pot should remain illegal and a criminal offense are the same folks who will go out and throw back a bunch of coldies...what's the difference? Some people would rather burn one than drink alcohol...I am astonished at how many people have their heads up there asses!

This is one of the biggest topics in the media concerning Mexico.

are going out of the USA

and draining the economy

legalize it and then grow it in the usa

with a tax on it and the revenue stays here.
