Shit that grows in the ground.
We could all be growing our own coca leaves and marijuana plants and there wouldn't be any "drug cartels" and violence.

Instead of buying a "5 hour energy" drink...I could just do what the Peruvian peasants do and chew on a coca leaf. lol

But with the policies we've been using so aggressively for the past 40 years? Cocaine and pot are fucking expensive as hell. Which make it a giant business. And a deadly one too.

I wonder how many people have actually overdosed and died on cocaine in a year as opposed to the number of people who were murdered over it (thanks to it being illegal).

Reminds me of "Alcohol Prohibition". That turned Chicago into a killing field and made the Mafia rich.

At least our politicians back then finally came to their senses and ended that prohibition after 14 long bloody years.
Our current crop of idiots are still going at it after decades.

What's that old definition of "insanity":
Doing the same thing over and over & expecting a different outcome.
