Vast US illegal drug market fuels Mexican cartels - Yahoo! News

mexico is a great country too bad our drug laws have affected them. I think we should import weed from mexico they got the great weather and already they grow tons of our food.
they could use the economy. but why would we need to import if it were legal to grow it here.
growing our own weed would help our economy

It doesn't rest upon BHO and anybody can see that it's political suicide at this point to legalize...don't like it, but that is the state of affairs.

It's only getting closer, just have some more patience.

No it fucking won't help our economy, but it sure as hell would keep innocent people out of jail.

Growing a plant shouldn't be illegal. It just makes me sad to think they are putting people that are causing no harm to society in jail. They are throwing tax payers in jail for doing victimless crimes. SERIOUSLY, VICTIMLESS CRIMES. Victimless crimes are innocent crimes in my book.

Logic has no place in U.S politics.

It's about who is getting paid and nothing more.

It certainly helps the economy of organized crime. Why wouldn't it help a legitimate economy?

It depends on who pays more because "we the people" argue so much about every stupid thing that it is hard to organize against corruption...

Exclamation Better think again...

[QUOTE=SpankyMcLankey ;51770093]No it fucking won't help our economy, but it sure as hell would keep innocent people out of jail.


You are saying the 50,000 different products we could be manufacturing from hemp won't grow our economy. Why do you think marijuana is illegal?? Go study the history. They are protecting the oil cartels by keeping it from competing on the marketplace. What do you think taking perfectly good assets and turning them into liabilities does to our economy?? This is the same thing that was happening during the prohibition of alcohol. That was a major factor in the cause of the Great Depression.

If hemp was legal, Dubya could not have done what he did in his last year in office which was to take the cash flow out of millions of people's lives and give it to the Saudis. BHO should make hemp and cannabis legal now in his first year in office. Talk about "green jobs."

I have no sympathy for any entity of Korporate Amerikka who supported the oil cartels which are now putting them out of business. Companies that drug test. Companies that funded the D.A.R.E. program. We need to get law enforcement the hell out of the medical society. They do not belong there. We need to be manufacturing paper goods, food products, clothing, fuels, plastics, and many other products from hemp. This would grow the hell out of our economy.

Cannabis will grow the economy, alright. However, four or five weeks in, we will have to seperate out the male half the economy and toss it, otherwise, we'll be up to our asses in seeds.

you don't have to throw anything out, i hear you can make fuel out if it..probably takes serious mad skills to do it though..

there's no downside locally (unless you're working the court system)

At this point I would go as far as to say it's not even political suicide anymore. Not as far as "we the people" are concerned. Don't forget mj leg. was the no. 1 rated idea at both change.org and .gov.

dude our future depends on us utilizing this plant. that fuckin shit about earth in 100 years on abc had me thinking, " oh well fuck you abc, lets make everyone depressed about the future..." but then 'course at the end they said how its up to us to change and make the future better and whatnot.

first and foremost, we need hemp for all its sensible uses and and the good stuff for sick people. i'm perfectly fine smoking a bit of lowgrade weed or none at all for that.
