a while now.

3. any USA citizen against drug legalization has this type of blood directly on their hands

On this I will not waiver, I will nor rationalize, nor will I apologize for the blunt truth.

Shame on the drug warriors, they are the personification of evil.

:thumbsdown:

4. Yup. Legalize and kill the criminal profit.

7. Lagalize and regulate it

The FDA can then set standards for purity, additives, psychoactive compound concentrations, pestacides, fungacides, etc.

PURE Marijuana is harmless, but some of the crap illegal growers use is awful. It should be legal to grow HEALTHY pot, but growing or selling poisonous or moldy kush should land your ass in jail for a LONG time.

6. exactly. This and so much more. End the drug war now!

5. I'm curious as to how this violence...

will figure into the Mexican presidential race next year. The race will be interesting to watch.
