This is a city that suffers for the drugs you do. This is what comes from you thinking that your high is more important than the law. This is the reality that you don't see, this is what your denial brings. This is the harm in your high.
Almost the same here, all my weed is locally grown. Who the fuck imports and smokes dry ass foreign bud anyway? Quicker, cheaper and faster to just grow it here.
Legalize it put an age limit on it and tax the hell outta it like alcohol and tobacco, it would sell for less than it does on the street, get drug dealers off the streets and rapidly stomp out drug cartels
Don't preach to me about my drugs. Governments made drugs illegal so they have an excuse to throw people in jail. If they made them legal then all that shit would go away. If they were serious about stopping this violence then they would have troops on the borders and have drones killing these drug lords.
They made drug illegal because of the incredible harm they do. The only people that go to jail are those that deserve it. The violence comes because people refuse to take resposibilty for their actions. You selfishly want to get high, you violate the law to do so. To get you those drugs others violate the law to get them to you. You and your selfishness is the problem not the law.

If you knew what you were talking about you would know that Marijuana was made illegal as a way to control minorities. And it's origin is pure racism...So the1armman is right..
william randolph hearst had a lot of pull also, controlling the timber markets. Henry Anslinger I'm sure got some payola from him. The Emperor Wears No Clothes - Jack Herer R.I.P.
Actually it was Mexicans that were targeted by early marijuana laws. Southern whites seized on the fact that many Mexican immigrants in the early nineteen hundreds smoked weed and used it as a way to dehumanize them by saying that they would rape white women and that smoking "loco" weed would give them super human strength....In 1927 A Texas senator on the senate floor declared that "All Mexicans are crazy and marijuana is the reason why" Nothing based in science or fact just plain old bigotry.That's why it is illegal
I was always lead to believe it was the Hearst family and their newspaper empire! Hemp was a cheap way to manufacture paper (rather than logging) so he used his media and political sway to demonize it! texas really are a shower of backward fucks tho. Bring on the negs
I don't expect much from a legal drug dealer and you live up to expectation every time.

dude, you sound like a fuckin moron. 99% of the weed kids smoke anymore is American grown, in fact it's our largest cash crop now with I believe 17 states OKing the medicinal use. It's the coke heads who support the cartels, and that shit isn't even that dangerous...we should just do what Portugal did.
Why stop there? make cigarettes ,soda, fast food, Ice cream ,candy and coffee illegal too. They all can cause health problems....Let the government control your life , If you to fucking stupid to control it yourself..
They don't bring the death and pain that drugs do.

Cigarettes don't harm people? Soda is nothing but liquid sugar ,fast food . Obesity is one of the biggest health problems in the country... you every hear of heart disease or diabetes....
Exactly how much contact have you ever had with drug users and sellers? I have around 20 years experience or better dealing with them on a regular basis.
I knew you were a fucking cop! Here's a link (I've sent this to you before but I know you've never clicked on it) to an org. created by your fellow law enforcement officers. These are DEA officers, ATF officers, customs agents, street cops, judges, etc. that are smart enough to know the harm the war on drugs has created. Click on it and read, you may learn something but I doubt it.
haha. I love that link just check out the horrorific chaos caused by drugs in Amsterdam...I mean, it's terrible and so frightening the sheer terror surrounding the drugs scene in this country with no prohibition...LOL
I grew up in it yes. My oldest brother was a trafficker. I know the culture and the people and there are as many or more violent pot heads as there are any other drug abuser.
OK Zoid....you keep believeing that. I have never met a pothead that is violent on a high. I have met violent people who use a combination of Pot, Booze, Meth or coke, but never a violent person on a purely pot high.
Sorry, Cap. That was meant for Z-berg. It's early here.

If you have seen " a lot of them " it is because you hang around with sociopaths... the weed smoking has nothing to do with it... People use a substance to justify antisocial behavior all the time...
Thanks for sticking to the subject, you said you have seen lots of stoned wife beaters and now you are babbling about drunk drivers. For someone who claims to lead a sober morally high life you can't follow a fucking conversation for shit..
as an irishman who both smokes and drinks, let me way in! i know literally hundreds of me fellow country men who are "nice guys", but once they get drunk they become hateful bitter scumbags who would punch their own brother out of sheer ignorance! Now i have many a fellow country stoner friend, they smoke weed,watch southpark and giggle to themselves! they certainly dont wake up with their shirt ripped and dried blood on their face not knowing how the fuck they got home!
Um zoid, thanks for renewing my belief that drugs should be legalised, as that would stop this fighting for territory and control of supply routes. If they were legalised then the drug manufacturers could just cross the boarder. So zoid by keeping drugs illegal YOU are causing this to continue.
haha please don't start the american vs english spelling debate. As for drug use, I don't use any, alcohol is the only drug I use and I use it recreationally, alcohol and adrenaline. I've smoked weed once in my life and didn't enjoy it.
you must have not smoked enough weed then or way too much your first and only time. Weed much better than alcohol. No hangover and you can drive home in about an hour. ;-)
if it were legal, nobody would be in control of the product, because your neighbor in fucktard Kentucky could grow pot or poppies or coca, and make the shit himself. that would literally take the power out of there hands, and all the money too. you think dispensaries of pot buy that nasty mexican shwag crap? hell no they buy local. moron, USA could turn a real profit, by regulating and taxing drug consumption. and cutting the bills for the police in half or more. that means less arrests less people in jail for victimless crimes, and more money to protect the public from violent crime.
Until someone makes a better, cheaper product. face it, legalization doesn't aim to improve business for Mexico, the reason these cartels are fighting so fiercely for territory is because Americans are smoking WAY more homegrown than ever before, because it's cheaper, faster and easier to grow high quality weed here than it is to import dry schwag from down there. Cocaine is pretty much all they have left, but it isn't bringing near the revenue that pot was.
Legalization is the best thing that can happen with marijuana, and cocaine too in the whole scheme of things.
Meth is quite obviously destructive and at a very rapid rate, I can't suggest legalizing it. But if that's all they have left then you know they'll be hurting for income. They can't just sell more meth because the wider it is known the less it is abused, simply because people already see it as a terrible drug. Just like crack cocaine faded from popularity decades ago. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of crack heads out there, but since it became an obvious and mainstream "bad drug", usage dropped radically. I don't know anyone who wants do smoke crack or meth except for meth and crack addicts, almost everyone who hasn't tried them refuses to.
Just an observation, I still agree with your comment.
If the same people are in control why would they not still kill each other. Just because you make murder legal it does not stop the victims from dieing.
that made no sense. During prohibition gangs killed each other for control of territories and supply chains. Do you see liquor reps and companies killing each other after the prohibition? So no they wouldn't kill each other, the reason being that legitimate business runs off contracts not fear like illegitimate business. The current situation means that if party A kills party B they will inherit their territory, in a legitimate business environment there will be no motive to kill anyone as the business will still have the contract. i.e. If party A kills party B then party C will gain control of the business where party C is the beneficiary or heir to party B. Party A stands to gain nothing but a criminal record and jail time. So short answer, NO they will not carry on killing each other.
Mostly they were only one city,,, Chicago one group New York another and they ran whiskey from Canada. The Cartels run most of Mexico especially the Northern and gulf coast.
The cartels live for money and violence.it doesnt matter what they sell or produce. Drugs prostitution ,people smuggling ,black market organs,and political backing are all good enough reasons to kill so it will never stop until their govt. is no longer run by the cartels
actually most of the fire power they have come from US citizens that bring that shit in to Mexico. If you want to buy a gun In Mexico you have to go to the streets and get it... no walmart prices for guns or ammo in Mexico.
That's right, Homegrown purple is the best, and save lives too.

I'm sorry zoidberg but the reasong for what is shown on the film is not that there are people who get high. The reson is that in Juarez are a bunch of criminals who cannot get along because of their greed. Drugs occure all over the world, we have them in Europe too, but you don't see drug dealers massacring each other for territory. And yes, legalization would make 360 degree change. Cartels would simply change into companies, running legitimate businesses, paying taxes, insurance for their employees, and being business competitors. You don't see coca cola and pepsi employees shooting each other on the streets do you?
The criminals exist because so many want to get high and don't even think of the cost. They only care about their high and be damned the twenty people that died to get it to them after all pot never hurt anyone.
the most successful drug dealers are the ones that don't use. Your ignorance of drug culture is a bright shining beacon that points to stupidity. Given you have no experience with or about drugs, you should shut your fascist mouth.
Well you are partly right FeeFee, soda pop is a multi million dollar industry but its legit so they don't settle their differences in the streets like king pins do. Yes part of it is that this dumb motherfuckers can't get along and "share" busyness. but we have seen in the past that prohibition and violence go hand and hand.
I love how the uploader tries to place the blame on drug users. In reality, the drug cartels and resulting violence are a direct result of drug criminalization in the US. The "War on Drugs" is single-handedly responsible for the development of the drug cartels because we create the market for the criminals. The harsher they make the punishments for drug charges, the more profitable the drug trade becomes(higher risk, higher payoff). If America decriminalized drugs like they did in Portugal years ago, drug violence would drop significantly and our prisons would empty.
The drugs were illegal before you were born. All of your life you knew they were illegal. No one put a gun to your head and forced you to break the law you do it by choice so it is your doing that the cartels have power and kill. If you obey the law they have nothing because there is no demand.
I suppose you blame people from the 20s for mafia violence too huh? Why not try thinking before you speak for a change. Prohibition is a failed policy, I know it's difficult to comprehend, but try wrapping your head around it.
In addition to plain text you can also add links to: - images - video pages - anything else Simply add a link just like this: http://i.imgur.com/fhfnG.gif and we will do the rest. We will transform all links into clickable links and if the link points to an image or a youtube video page we will open that image / video in a clean pop.
My high kills no one, I grow my own. Simple solution, legalize all drugs.
