"Drugs are only a "crime" because tyrannical people think it should be illegal to think differently. End of story. As a result, tyrants like Obama who wish marijuana to be illegal have shipped jobs in the US over to Mexico. If Obama didn't want to be a tyrant then he could go ahead and put something like $30 billion back into the hands of people in the US by making substances that cause people to think differently legal. Alcohol is among the most dangerous drugs in existence. I'd like to see proof that crack cocaine does more damage than alcohol (preferably on a per-user basis to be fair). Anyone? "

Drugs arent the crimes were complaining about. Its the murder, torture, rape, beheading, dismemberment and other violent attrocities that these cartels use to keep people too scared to come after them.

edit on 27-9-2011 by forevertruepatriot because: didnt know how to quote for a sec

By making drugs illegal, it enables scum bags like this woman's husband to be able to pull off the crimes you listed. They are all one giant happy family. So in essence the poster you quoted is correct.

So if i understand you correctly, simply making drugs legal will stop these scum bags from killing innocent people? or will it just make them target the people who then start legally producing the same drug so that they are the only ones to buy from. Legalizing the crime will not stop violence. As long as there are terrible people on this planet, they will seek to be in control, and use violence as the primary means of obtaining it.

More precisely, they will seek other methods to make money. If you legalize the drug, the next big thing will be extortion, kidnapping, blackmailing, trafficking of people, etc. These posters are so clueless about both countries' economies. They think that by legalizing drugs all the problems will be solved. In fact, it will create an even bigger problem. You would be cutting the head off the snake..

Very Movie like, however historically that is not the case.
Of course you do run the risk of ex drug "bootleggers" decendants becomming presidents

Historically not the case? Right, in the case of the United States not the third world countries. You obviously haven't lived in such place if you think said statements are fictional and not probable.
