Bad news guys...
Now our drugs are gunna cost more. Serious Trouble in the upcoming supply line.

if you are smoking pot from mexico something is wrong with you, all the good stuff comes from CALI!!!

no reason to smoke mexican weed, yuck, fucking dirt headache shit.

Humboldt got that bomb doldier, Cuidad Juarez got that dirt

Sure not a good time to travel to Mexico either.

Depends on where you are going.

This drug war isnt over Pot.

Isn't the "drug war" really about harder stuff, like cocaine, ecstasy, etc...?

The Mexican cartels are the ones that distribute the cocaine...It's goes from Colombia to there. Colombia is like the manufacturer, Mexico the distributer, and the USA the consumer.

no. Thats a huge misconception.

Marijuana makes up a huge amount of the arrests made in the "drug war" - almost half of ALL "drug arrests" are marijuana.

You can dig up, if youre lucky, spending reports on police and see "marijuana eradication" is funded heavily throughout any state with MJ and this is because most have the misconception as you do. In fact, its been reported that the FOCUS OF THE DRUG WAR is marijuana!

here is article:

As an ardent member of http://www.safeaccessnow.org yes it is. Look at arrest stats...

We represent patients and doctors from all over the US.

If you dont think the drug war is about marijuana you arent paying attention to the facts.

I fight for patient rights everyday, and everyday we have to fight more, and its because the DEA is constantly raiding patients and focusing on MJ in the US.

great quotes in that article:

Interesting...

I'm under the impression that in your article "drug war" means fighting drugs in the USA (drug arrests, etc.), whereas in boneprone's article, it is the drugs being imported, since they say, "President Felipe Calderon's security cabinet met in the city last week to devise a strategy to combat narcotraffickers."

People can call what they want, The War on Drugs, I am specifically referring to what Nixon started when he created the DEA.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_on_drugs

I am sure anytime a cop arrests someone they feel they are part of the Drug War, so its all relative. Nixon first used the term and thats how I use it.\

Nixon wanted to stop personal drug use, and use the term "War on Drugs" and thus the term was coined... they werent yelling about mexican cocaine yet, it was "lets get rid of the evil negro marijuana and the spick grass" the war on drugs was started more about pot than any hard drugs facing america today.

it's about a disruption of the cocaine supply routes.

Our goverment LOVES the war on drugs.

Think global buy local!
