Illegal drug users
 

Next time you get high think about this..

36 year old woman (ex Mexican Mayor) was taken from in front of her daughter and beaten to death by Drug Cartel. She survived two other attempts on her life prior after being shot by ambush attempts using assault rifles that also killed her first husband.

That's what your Coke & Marry J cost..along with a about 50 thousand others just in Mexico alone, whom have met a similar fate. It's not just drug dealers that kill each other, they also kill innocent people.

I don't use any drugs anymore, not for many years, but if governments didn't make it illegal, then the death and crime surrounding it would go way down.

Make them legal, and you will be able to have people produce it in the open, without being controlled and coerced by criminals, and the free market prices would come way down with open competition, so it wouldn't be "easy money" for the cartels anymore.



Just my personal opinion.




.

only suckers buy shitty mexican weed.

I save hemp and marijuana seeds for the end of the world. Fuck your bullshit

Do you bank with Bank of America or any of the major players?

cause i got some bad fucking news.

I don't drugs at any level. I don't even drink or smoke cigarettes.

I did drugs when I was younger; Nearly killed me.

dumbest thread of the day ! :))

so you are implying that all the weed smokers on this forum are supporting the killings of innocent people?

Also the Taliban.

Supply and demand, with out the end users there is no need for a Drug Cartel.

This ...

Funny the biggest entry point of drugs coming into the US is from south of the boarder from South American countries and no one smokes it. It's a miracle, I tell you.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

very brave woman, RIP

innocent? man, she was sure innocent, but she was playing with fire, she was pain in ass for all those mafias, battling against violence, so thats how you ends if you go against the mafia! she was a great woman but on the very wrong place ... rest in peace :2 cents:

brave girl...sad story

the laws put the drug cartels in power...same as they did with prohibition

In my opinion...this could be 1920 and you could say the same thing about alcohol.

When the govt. does prohibition on things people enjoy...it creates criminal enterprise which becomes insanely profitable and in turn begats violence.

Look at the mob during alcohol prohibition.

And then put the blame where it belongs: On the U.S. federal govt. trying to control people's lives with their failed "War On Drugs"

Very sad and a brave woman

This is worrying for the US people

More than 50,000 people have been killed in clashes between rival drug cartels and security forces and about two dozen mayors have been murdered.

The cartels have ruled the streets with fear for years, enforcing their authority with murders, bribery and torture.

But after decades of using force to combat the gangs, it is U.S. lawmakers who are the criminals' biggest problem.

Legalisation of marijuana, as recently voted for by Colorado and Washington states, may wipe billions of dollars from the cartels? annual profits.

And it has left politicians in Mexico with a tough question: How can they continue to justify spending money ? and lives ? fighting drug distribution to America when it will be legal in some states from next month?


The U.S. Justice Department considers the cartels as America?s greatest organised crime threat, while conceding that it is U.S. dollars that fund the crime ravaging Mexico.

In 2009 a military assessment predicted that if the drugs war continued for another 25 years, Mexico?s government was at serious risk of collapse and the conflict would spread into America.

A year earlier, the U.S. Joint Forces Command suggested a similar time-scale of collapse in Mexico and warned American intervention may be necessary due to the implications for homeland security.

The problem of strengthening the Mexico/U.S. border even prompted President Barack Obama to deploy 1,200 National Guard troops in 2010.

The two major cartels in Mexico are now the Sinaloa Cartel and Los Zetas.

The Sinaloa Cartel was formed when several gangs agreed to join forces in 2006 and is now led by Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman.

He is Mexico's most wanted drug trafficker and is believed to be worth $1billion. Forbes magazing even declared him the 55th most powerful man in the world in 2009.

As if I didn't need more of a reason to get completely sober a few years back. Best decision I ever made.

I grew up and stoped smoking weed about 20 years ago. I dont need any shit drugs in my life thank you..

I done quite a few different drugs when I was a teen.
Last time I smoked any pot it was legal, in Amsterdam about 6 or 7 years ago.

I feel sorry for a lot of the people growing marijuana getting thrown in jail for selling something a fair amount of western society feels is safer than smoking or drinking.

Just a 2 cents post :)

There was just as much violence during prohibition and look now. Make the shit legal and violence stop. Just ask a drug dealer if he want the shit legal. They would go bankrupt in no time

perzactly my ver yfirst thought ... if it was legal the cartels would be burned :2 cents:

Stupid guy. So your solution is the genocide of all drug consumers? Legalization is way easier and less expensive. Now go fuck yourself

Well said OP, but I must emphasize that it is valid for marijuana as well. Junkies will have different reasoning of course (like "I do not buy mexican weed" )

Just bought a quarter, doing my part. :thumbsup

With so many junkies on the forum you sure will be flamed here :2 cents:
They need to justify their actions by any means :)

drugs are bad :)

Yes mind expansion sucks control the suckers.

just read the topic and check in this thread..

have a good one :winkwink:

Its illegality will get its day of reckoning.

Get your terminology right. Junkie by definition is one who is addicted to NARCOTICS. Marijuana is not a narcotic (and non addictive). Which part of this do you have trouble comprehending?

Just like with prostitution it is the fact that it is illegal that createsthese situations, if it were legal you take the crime out of it

but in doing so you free up a lot of prison space, law enforcement resources courts, prosecutors etc...and without all that the government loses out on a lot of money to fund this idiotic war on drugs....so they are just as culpable as the cartel that did it, they all work together for profit, thats the bottom line.

some small percentage of your tax dollars subsidized that womans death...believe it....

If its not a narcotic to you does not mean its not in reality. For instance speaking of Mexico - its is narcotic there. And it is called narcotic in most of the world. I could name you 20-30+ European countries where marijuana IS called narcotic. Not to mention almost every country in the world. So if you do not call it narcotic does not mean it is not.

As for addictive part - you got to love potheads who smokes weed every single day, yet they claim they are not addicted :) If it does not give you physical pain when you stop using it does not mean its not addictive!

I dont do coke and the weed I smoke is for sure not grown in Mexico. So I am going to keep smoking.

So if everybody on GFY that does drugs stopped today the problem will go away?

Awesome! Let's do it guys and gals!

Mexicans are the Middle Men. The Columbians are laughing their asses off.

My weed man has a whole grow house so I wold think I'm not helping the drug dealers in any other country.

Once again... Drugs are not for stupid people... :1orglaugh
