re: #175 3eff Jeff

I don’t know. It was my main consideration when voting for prop 19, but I doubt it will change anything. At best I’m hoping a win on 19 emboldens further prohibition repeals and starts a big fight with the DoJ (which will test Obama on his ‘marijuana is not a priority’ policy).

By no means all, but a really significant chunk of cartels’ cash nowadays comes from selling ephedrine (the ‘banned’ ingredient in methamphetamine) and prescription painkillers. They buy both of them by the ton quasi-legally from China and India.
