Another Mexico Shooting.

For the past year mexico has been fighting drug wars in well populated areas such as Mexico City. Hundreds of innocent people have died and many more will continue to suffer unless a drastic change is taken with the illegal drug trade. Marijuana exported from mexico is only about 10 percent of the pot here. But it still is valuable enough to a confused and poverty stricken country to kill so many people. So the question is, how can we fix this? The answer is simple. take it out of the hands of the criminals and bandits of ol' Mexico and put it into the direct hands of the consumers of the product. Bada Boom, now everyone is happy. I get to smoke pot and people don't have die for me to do so. This is hard to comprehend but just take a minute to think about how this works in poor rebellious country. They see that we want something, so they do what ever they have to do to get it here. Even if that means killing men, women, and children to do so. Now some might say, Why don't we just stop smoking marijuana instead? Because that will never ever happen ever. Marijuana has had an 1000% increase in users since the late fifties. That means that over fifty million people in america smoke marijuana. which also means that there is a butt load of money being pumped into our economy due to pot. So it would be senseless to throw an amazing opportunity like the the legal, taxed distribution of marijuana. How could our economy not flourish if an additional 20 billion dollars is being funneled through the red, white, and blue? Thats like saying an extra five thousand dollars a month wouldn't help a poor family get food. Again, please watch this Documentary and then come up with your own opinion of marijuana. Then ask yourself, is killing people over a plant really worth it?

  1. i agree that there are so many problems with marijuana and it does help our economy, but killing even a one human being over marijuana is not worth it. i do not have any ideas at the moment, but instead of killing someone we need to find another way to build up our economy.
