I have seen what these drugs have done to the kids of some of the friends of mine. They cannot make these hard drugs legal.

The President should declare that, the cartels are terrorist organizations. They truly are.
ISIS is finished; let's unleash the Military-Industrial Complex on the cartels.
Weapons testing, with a positive result... (for once).

Whats the difference between gun rights and drug rights?
Both can harm yourself, both can harm others. I'm for freedom of both personally. I partake in guns, but I wouldn't with most drugs.
Can't alcohol kill people?
Is there a chance there is more to the war on drugs than what's told to us?

he problems are opiates (heroin/fentanyl), coc aine and meth... these pour into our southern borders, and countless lives are destroyed.

What you speak of is corporate welfare.
We know it doesn't work, just look at the history.
I grew up in the seventies, I saw a lot of stoned people, but most all of them could comprehend things when not stoned. What I am seeing now is way different, I think it may be a combination of things causing this like I said. Or maybe some of the stuff they are adding to the drugs is causing people to lose their ability to reason long after the drug is worn off.

I'm just saying that it is a better idea to kill a$$holes in your own backyard... not the opposite hemisphere.
If you have a termite problem, you don't solve it by killing ants 20 miles away.

How about people having a sack, and not turning to drugs to "Heal the pain" We've become soft. I agree, too many guys in jail over some stupid pot charge...weed is not a drug, I'ts not for me but if it's for you...go for it.
Supply and demand. Most people can't suck it up and push through this hell of a world. So why wouldn't they capitalize on our weakness?

I just want to preface by saying thank you for actually engaging in a discussion. It's uncomfortable, for everyone.
No one wants to advocate someone just go down to the corner store and give hard drugs a shot (pun intended). It's a bad idea, we all know it.

If be willing to say many if not most people get hooked on opiates by being over prescribed. I'd be willing to say many if not most people introduced to uppers scored an ADD med from their doc.
My point is the issue is more Nuanced than just saying "those damn foreign cartels".
The debate in gun control (in which I agree) is killing is illegal, but people still do it. Well, drugs (non pharma-prescribed) are illegal.
Pandora's box is open. We have a way of playing all sides at the same time.
