PROHIBITION ALL OVER AGAIN
We argue about the law and complain about gangs. We accept the
situation and hope it doesn't get worse.
However, it does get worse, here and in other countries. Prohibition
all over again. The murders and bombings of the 1930s are mild stuff
today. The gangs that terrorize Mexico are growing in power, even in
our own country.
We know that the largest part of the cash flow to the drug cartels is
from marijuana sales billions per year. Is there a billion-dollar
industry that would not spend millions to influence favorable
legislation? I think not. Is this why the bulk of enforcement is
against growing your own?
