‘Help Mexico: Legalize Pot’
1st November 2010
Most of Mexico’s violence and corruption has as much to do with our war on drugs than anything indigenous. It is thus preventable with a change of U.S. policy. This is not only in Mexico’s interest but ours as well: the drug-related violence has already begun to spill over into the United States.
Huh. So it’s our fault that people attempt to make money by breaking our laws. I agree that it’s preventable with a change in U.S. policy: If our policy were to execute anybody caught with illegal drugs–shoot them right there in the street–then the problem would be much reduced. But I somehow don’t think that’s what they had in mind.
