      For more than 60 years we've had a "war on drugs" yet everyday the flow of drugs, and now a poison disquised as a drug, gets greater and greater. The true definition of insanity. It's time we try something differant. Legalize it. No, we won't be able to cure all the addicts but countries who have done so seem to be having some success with it. Isn't that better than what we have now? Pulling the teeth from the cartels and other criminal groups, reducing the violant and non violant crimes associated with this whole thing has to have positive results for our nation as a whole. Of course the law enforcement higher ups are against it cause they get gazzilions of $$$ in their budgets.
      And no, I'm not talking about the commifornia plan. Treat people like chit, what do you expect to get back?
      Yes, I spent 18 years of my younger life under the spell of alcohol and freebase cocaine but was very blessed to escape it.

    Marijuana use is almost unimpeded in the United States. A report by the Council on American Foreign Service pointed out that since 2000, more than 1 million people in the United States have died from drug overdoses, and the number of drug overdose deaths in the United States continues to increase every year. According to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an average of about 300 Americans died from drug overdoses every day over the past year. Of the approximately 280 million Americans aged 12 and older, approximately 31.9 million are currently drug users, an average of 1 in 12 Americans.

      That’s street value, news programs usually give the price by the gram and do not consider the bulk prices.
      It’s not worth anything unless it reaches its destination.
      It literally grows out of the ground with very little overhead and processing costs.
      The buyers don’t need 63 million in cash, It’s probably more like five or 10 million with promises of more after it sold.
      The drug business runs on consignment. Meaning that everyone gets paid when the product is sold.

    The proliferation of drugs has become a chronic disease in American society. Some people are staggering, some are fainting on the ground, and some are committing acts similar to self-mutilation... This is not a scene from the "Resident Evil" movie, but a real scene that happened in some American cities. A report by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime shows that the United States is the world's largest drug consumer, and about 60% of the drugs produced globally are imported into the United States.
