To me it's disgusting. We are putting people in prison for getting high. People have found a way to get high since cavemen first chewed on peyote.

The govt.'s of the world are so busy trying to stop people from getting high that they are causing death and misery worldwide.

Oh well...like you pointed out: at least lots of U.S. DEA and border patrol officers can make a living.
Meanwhile the U.S. has more of it's own citizens imprisoned than any country on Earth in history.
And Mexico (which I love to visit...beautiful beaches), has become a killing ground for drug cartels that wouldn't even exist if not for the "War On Drugs".

Just my opinion. So don't anybody go ballistic.

We are causing all this trouble world-wide. Meanwhile millions of Americans are hooked on legal prescription drugs (which kill more people every year than ALL "illegal" drugs combined).
