re: #198 Obdicut

Which will not be stopped or significantly hindered by a fence. Or much of anything. The harder we fight the ‘drug war’, the more we raise the incentive for the gangs and smugglers. It causes more death, and costs more money. That’s all. The amount of drugs on the street does not change.

But if we legalize drugs in the USA that won’t change things for Mexico. They’ll continue to smuggle drugs in the USA. That exchange will also continue to finance the drug cartels and murders in Central America. Right now, both President Obama and President Calderone are oppose to any legalization. California couldn’t even pass a law legalizing pot.
