BORDER BUSINESS
Cannabis is here to stay, and no amount of propaganda, crop spraying
and incarceration is going to stop it. Prohibition, not cannabis, is
causing the violence and misery, and the blame falls squarely on the
U.S. war on drugs. Marijuana is imported into the U.S. because its
citizens cannot get enough of it. As long as there is a demand,
someone will find a way to supply it. The war on drugs is over, and
the prohibitionists have lost.
