From VICE:
The Mexican drug cartels are at war... with Mormons. VICE founder Shane Smith went down to Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, near the US border, to investigate this bizarre story.

The war on drugs is directly responsible for the mess in Mexico.
I used the red text because it's the truth.
And guess who's arming the cartels? None other than Eric Holder and his friends at the ATF!
Make it legal to kill drug dealers in America

Stop thinking small fry. Turn the US/Mexican border into a 5 mile DMZ, any unauthorized crossing will be dealt by five-five-six, or Hellfires for vehicles. American citizens are encouraged to volunteer to patrol and enforce the zone.
seems legit...

There is no historical precedence of prohibition ever working.
The situation is very similar to the one that existed with the prohibition on alcohol back in the 1920s with Canada supplying alcohol to speak easies.
Legalize all mild drugs like pot and decriminalize small quantities of the hard stuff.
This would deprive the cartels of a major source of income.
Then only arrest those who have a half kilo or more of the hard stuff ie the real dealers.
I'd also disband the ATF and DEA as they have become too corrupt and any money spent there is just throwing good money after bad.
Use the money saved for improved anti drug education and treatment for addicts.

Interestingly enough, cannabis is actually more dangerous than some of the "hard stuff". But cannabis is smoked by millions of 13-year-olds, so it's assumed to be one of the safest ones.
Even illegal drugs are ranked by most people according to social acceptability rather than actual potential for harm. "Hard" and "soft" seem to be labels for the drugs' key demographics rather than for the drugs themselves.
mfw cannabis is class B in Britain and is the one everyone wants to legalise, whereas ecstasy and LSD are class A.

Even that study has skewed results, because it's a meta analysis and most studies exaggerate the harm(methamphetamine and amphetamine are basically the same, so they should have the same score).
The other thing is that most harms come from the illegality(overdose, crime, marginalization etc.).
The current situation in Mexico is also because of the illegality. If you compare illegal drugs to legal ones(recreational and medical), you don't really see Sanofi-Aventis employees murdering Pfizer's or Heineken executing workers of rival breweries.

But you might have seen it in the US in the 1920s!
I'm in favor of Palmtop's suggestion regarding the border. I'm also in favor of legalizing all drugs at the federal level: period. This gets even marijuana advocates angry, but the fact is... no law keeps any drug from being abused by enough people. If you want to regulate manufacturing and distribution of something like meth, do it the same way we do with other manufactured products: you can't build an oil refinery next to an elementary school, even in Texas.

While true some of the factors that make cannabis worse would be mostly removed if it were legal, specifically ones related to crime.
Also I wonder how well both general long term damage and potential first use long term damage are factored in.
Anyway if all the drugs were made legal what would the chart look like? That would for me seem to be an accurate reflection of the potential danger.

Also promote the hell out of the drugs by making it seem main stream to use them by the establishment.
Talk about an effective way of turning the youth off of something.

Sounds like you want a something like the inner German border from 23 years ago.
What was indoctrinated my mind for 13 years, oh yes "Learning from the Soviet Union is to learn how to win."

Yah esp one that makes antipsychotic drugs.
BTW doesn't the title sound like the name of a game?
Cartels vs Mormons the a new game from the people who brought you Plants vs Zombies.
My cousin showed me this video yesterday where they beheaded 2 mexican people who betrayed their group/whatever.
One got beheaded with a chainsaw, the other guy was sitting right next to him when it happened. And he himself got beheaded with a blunt knife. Which took ages, and you could see him spasm and move all the way. It was so fucking gross.

hahahaha i saw this video with my friends in front of a food court and everyone around us got really disturbed. it owned.
Lets put it this way Mormons are using politics without using a single bullet to fight the Drug Cartels preventing them from conducting ransoms kidnappings and sometimes murder.
Mitts Family are consider a cult by other people standers then what kind of cult would it be?
