End the drug war tomorrow and make it all legal. Your body belongs to you, not the government. Then the price of drugs will be about 1/50 of what it is now and all drug violence would end.

It looks like the DEA going after Cheech Marin backfired as he exposed the drug war. People are tired of the loss of liberty in this police/warfare/welfare state and the heavy-handedness of corrupt and arrogant prosecutors who have completely destroyed the Constitution.

We are at the logical conclusion current U.S. foreign policy. Hope you like it.

I only see the situation escalating when you consider the supply, the demand, the corruption. It is definitely out of control.

Don't worry Maz, once we make drugs legal and put the government in charge, everything will be OK. I mean , what could go wrong? Most people here think the government is doing a great job with everything else so why worry? Once we have committed ourselves to unrestricted access to mind altering chemicals, we as a nation will prosper and grow. The mexican drug cartells will cease. Americans will understand the folly of their ways. Just surrender to the inevitable Maz. It's always better to give in. Working harder and standing up to an evil is very tiring and draining. It's always better to justify weakness. It will make you a better person. Trust me.

People blame the Mexican cartels for bringing in the drug to America…America itself has a high demand of drugs..teenagers every crack head will do anything to get what they want and the cartel will do anything to transport the drugs… thats why Juarez Chihuahua is one of the lands where narcos fight because of easy access of the merchandise…its near the border!…

"Let the addicts suffer the consequences of their stupidity, not the rest of us."

We who will suffer from the crimes committed on us by these new junkies don't agree. We who will see our families destroyed by these new junkies don't agree. We who will be paying there hospital/treatment/welfare/prison//// bills do not agree.

You will give up your freedom because creating millions of new junkies will destroy neighborhoods , leaving you unable to leave your home because your afraid to go out or to leave your family alone to the tender mercies of drug addicted felons. Who will take your property and anyone else's. As for bottoming out… I've dealt with 3rd generation junkies. A wonderful family tradition. Those that pull themselves out are in the very low average.

I still can't see how allowing a fire to run rampant will ever be a good solution.

Doing some browsing and noticed your website appears a bit messed up in my K-meleon internet browser. But fortunately hardly anyone uses it any longer but you may want to look into it. – I read part of it all the way through. – Samuel Goldwyn 1882 – 1974

“The drug war has resulted in about 17,000 deaths over the past three years, and Mexico has claimed the title of the country in the hemisphere with the highest number of journalists killed on its soil. To put that in perspective, about 1000 American soldiers have died fighting the war in Afghanistan since 2001. About 4400 Americans have died in Iraq since 2003.”

There’s 150,00 US troops in Iraq and the number in Afghanistan is also puny next to Mexico’s population which has over 100 million people let’s remember.

In fact, the rate of US troops killed is far HIGHER, not to diminish the appalling violence going on in Mexico.

Yeah , great. I see junkies at the polling booths all the time. Sheesh. Trusting people who intentionally took drugs and ruined their lives will now be responsible enough to 'register' and be careful? Hello!

Szasz states it clearly: An adult's right to grow and ingest whatever he chooses is a right antecedent to the U.S. Constitution.

Lest we forget, drugs were totally unregulated in this country until the 1900s. Where were the drug war casualties when responsibility resided in free individuals?

The federal government's current obsession with taking over the entire health care industry rests firmly on the foundation of the federal government's control over our "legal" drug dealers.

Understand completely it is a two way street, but please remember it has been tried before. There is AA, NA, detox, psych wards and many other places people can go to get sober. Prison today is more like a psych ward than a prison except you shower together.

So America has a lot of money. Do you think that is going to end anytime soon with a 10 trillion dollar economy, and a black market which I would say is about 100x that?

It is a problem of evil, that is all. Nothing more, nothing less. The only thing I think would make society right is mandatory vasectomies on males at birth which are completely reversible when someone chooses to have a kid. I’m not talking about Eugenics, but a rational solution to end the problem of evil:

It's that or legalize them. Anything else is a waste of freedom, lives, time, and money.

They're ruining more lives than that with them illegal. Nobody is deterred now, least of all teenagers (whose juvenile records are most often sealed anyway). They'll huff their own fermented body waste to get high.

Let the addicts suffer the consequences of their stupidity, not the rest of us. That goes for a bunch of other stuff too. We can't minimize or take away the natural consequences of bad decisions and still expect people to learn better. That's not how human nature works. Nor can we idiot-proof the world. I'm sick of giving up my freedom and property for people who can't or won't responsibly handle theirs. It's wrong.

People are only parasites if you allow them to be, and in fact, the quicker they hit bottom and pull out (or don't and die), the better for them and society. Nothing anyone does or says will help or stop an addict (and alcohol is a drug) until THEY decide they've had enough.

So yes, whatever percentage that wants to go kill themselves is fine with me, because I know most of them will find a way to anyway.

Dear eerie,
You really are eerie! So your solution is to invade a friendly country who is trying to resolve an American made problem, kill everyone and steal their assets (oil to you). I would be a happy guy if the United States had a president that has the huevos that Calderon (the President of Mexico to you) has. What does Hugo Chavez have to do with Mexico? He's in Venezuela and is a dictator following the footsteps of Fidel Castro but in a country full of oil. Mexico turned away a socialist leaning candidate unlike this country.

Your solution would be fine except that the addicts you are talking about are here in the United States. Were is not that the US is the largest market for illegal drugs in the world, Mexico would have no problem. Whey don't we forget about the "war on drugs" that is a total failure and start treating adddicts as what they are – a sickness. It would be more effective and cheaper to rehabilitate our addicts than to jail them. This comes from a man that hates drugs with a passion.
