Perhaps we legalize just enough to break the cartel system. However, I suspect as long as there are people who get a thrill out of breaking the law to use drugs, we wll need to deal with the crime bosses. As I said earler: no easy answers.Steve Cottonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00468378507171761868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-37999930348822202482008-06-11T20:46:00.000-05:002008-06-11T20:46:00.000-05:00Probably the only way to stop the violence of drug...Probably the only way to stop the violence of drug trafficking is to legalize drugs. Certainly we could start with marijuana. No more harmful nor addictive than alcohol, it is in many ways hard to justify its illegality. <BR/><BR/>Cocaine is a tougher question, and other drugs create even harder questions. But I suspect that cheap and freely available marijuana might well stem the demand for stronger stuff. And if that were the case, we'd all be better off. <BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/><BR/>Kim G<BR/>Boston, MAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
