- AzzidReign, on 06/28/2009, -4/+29ALL CAPS DAY. WHAT THE *****? WHY AREN'T ANY OF YOU PAYING RESPECT!!?
- FuZi0nDET, on 06/28/2009, -4/+22Legalize what? Meth? Wake up guys, pot isn't the major problem it's meth and cocaine. Think about it, how many people are addicted to pot and have to have it every day? I can't say I've ever heard of a single person that was. On the other hand with addictive drugs like meth and cocaine you've got guaranteed repeat business worth much more than the most dedicated pot heads.
Bury me down, but rtfa first! - RupertPupkin22, on 06/27/2009, -20/+35Just legalize it already. Dang!
- vsujohn2, on 06/28/2009, -7/+22THATS OVER 9000!

When you criminalize things that aren't real crimes, you just create more criminals... and murderers. - JimmyTheClam, on 06/28/2009, -8/+21Hey, where are the Mexicans blaming Americans for their "greed for drugs"?
Oh yeah, it was a bullsh!t argument to begin with... - steelersfan7roe, on 06/28/2009, -2/+15Why do prohibitionists support drug cartels?
Legalize marijuana and take over 50% of the drug cartel profits and send it directly into the governments coffers. - superkendall, on 06/28/2009, -0/+13More like, "Dead Men Make no Sales"
- anthropodeus, on 06/28/2009, -1/+13there is no way drug cartels could compete with industrialized cannabis production.
- protogenxl, on 06/29/2009, -0/+9Geez, The global economy is so bad even drug cartels are closing dealerships.
- greenbeanz69, on 06/28/2009, -1/+9"The police report said four bullet shells from a 9mm handgun and one from a 38mm pistol were found on the floor. "
38mm?? Thats one huge pistol. Savage beasts indeed. - make7upyours06, on 06/28/2009, -6/+13@ Hentailover420
yeah, but meth users and such contribute to a lot of crimes and things of that nature, so I guess it would be in the governments' best interest to intervene in the usage of these highly addictive drugs. Not saying marijuana is in the same category (I personally don't have any experience in drug usage) but judging from the past, meth does have that effect on people. - venom8599, on 06/28/2009, -3/+9@freakish_beast
Legalizing pot would remove the largest moneymakers for Mexican (and other) drug cartels, especially as I'm sure the profit margins are quite high. Legalize marijuana, and you throw the economics empowering the cartels into chaos. Sure, they'd still be selling meth, heroin, cocaine, and other drugs--but those are all riskier to sell and distribute, have less of a market, etc... - mmurdock77, on 06/27/2009, -2/+8Savage beasts.
- maz2331, on 06/28/2009, -1/+7Dead men tell no tales.
- MrFunStuff, on 06/28/2009, -0/+6Whether meth is legal or not people are going to do it. But Drug addiction is not a crime and should be meet treatment not incarceration.

- inactive, on 06/28/2009, -2/+8make7up...I'm sure there are alot of drunks involved in alot of crime as well.
- Akairenn, on 06/28/2009, -0/+5JUAN VALDEZ WAS SHOT IN THE HEAD BY COLUMBIAN COFFEE CARTELS, YOU INSENSITIVE CLOD.
- abeewon, on 06/28/2009, -1/+6ive always thought your corner drug dealers are morons. i mean hang in your house smoke a bowl or something. bad business model IMO
- steelersfan7roe, on 06/28/2009, -0/+5People will buy it regardless of who sells it. All prohibitionists are doing is letting the cartels do the business instead of the US government.
- cyclopssmiley, on 06/28/2009, -3/+8LEGALIZE THE PLANT ALREADY!
- doob10163, on 06/28/2009, -0/+5@keviniskool Can I get a source or something to read?
- twiztidsinz, on 06/28/2009, -2/+7If you can be addicted to Video Games (something completely external), then you can be addicted to anything.
It's not that marijuana isn't addictive -- because, realistically speaking, it is -- it's a matter of HOW addictive and how bad the effects of withdrawal are.
In marijuana's case the answer to both is 'not very'. - anthropodeus, on 06/28/2009, -2/+7the problem with legalizing meth is that it's so easy to get addicted to it. you don't stop using meth when you want to stop; you stop using meth when meth wants you to stop. i wonder if it's easier to get addicted to nicotine or meth . . .
- TSK05, on 06/28/2009, -1/+6Argument goes both ways. Why do smokers support drug cartels? Or do you grow your weed yourself?
- steelersfan7roe, on 06/28/2009, -0/+4Yeah, and we've been blaming the buyer with imprisonment for 30 years now and they still will not stop buying.
The only way to take the money out of the cartels pockets is by legalizing it and putting the money into American companies and their tax collecting government.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the buyers are completely innocent, but most buyers have no idea where their cannabis is coming from. It can come from Canada, Mexico, or from down the street.
But prohibitionists share the blame in their handing over the market to cartels. - inactive, on 06/28/2009, -6/+10What the heck? Why is it a bad thing? Drug Dealers are evil men who peddle their sub-par ***** to kids. Who cares if they take up 90% of the body bags? I wish it would be 100%
- RX8SaxMan, on 06/28/2009, -0/+4There's a big difference between addiction and dependence. Drugs like meth, cocaine, and even nicotine create a physical dependence that causes your body to crave more and more. Marijuana only creates a psychological addiction because of its pleasurable effects, which can be compared to something like video game addiction.
In my opinion, drugs that create a definite physical dependence should be illegal simply because their effects can wreak havok on other people who come in contact with the user (e.g. violent and abusive behavior). Those whose addiction is only psychological should be allowed. - fragMasterFlash, on 06/28/2009, -2/+6Coffee in the morning, beer at night. Life is good and no one gets murdered.
- td001, on 06/28/2009, -0/+4These people are dead over the War on Drugs, not marijuana.
They were killed over politics, not cannabis. - rustygb, on 06/28/2009, -0/+4This is why the Mexican government is going to decriminalize drugs...
http://thefreshscent.com/2009/06/26/mexican-congre ... - Traiklin, on 06/28/2009, -1/+4OVER 9000!?!?!
- protogenxl, on 06/29/2009, -0/+3They stopped Ludes by drug companies no longer making Methaqualone. They could stop Meth by no longer making Ephedrine and Pseudoephedrine
- TSK05, on 06/28/2009, -1/+4Sad story :(
- MrFunStuff, on 06/28/2009, -1/+4Whether meth is legal or not people are going to do it. But Drug addiction is not a crime and should be meet with treatment not incarceration.

Abraham Lincoln - Barackalypse, on 06/28/2009, -2/+5"The police report said four bullet shells from a 9mm handgun and one from a 38mm pistol"
38 mm falls into the realm of anti-tank or anti-aircraft gun, something large and heavy and wheeled, definitely not a pistol. Perhaps they meant a .38 caliber.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bofors_37_mm - abeewon, on 06/28/2009, -2/+5meth is disgusting ***** nobody should do that, go near it, sell it, manufacture it
- Jovian84, on 06/29/2009, -0/+310,000 + dead and this is why our government never took the war on drugs really seriously. just lock up the little fish and ignore his bosses
- td001, on 06/28/2009, -0/+3Oh wait, it's akchrs, this guy trolls every marijuana related thread on Digg.
- omgwtflawl, on 06/29/2009, -1/+3>Are you saying gangsters will just stop gangbanging and become everyday workers?
What else could they do? Their "business" relies on people buying their product, and who is going to go into some shady section 8 tower block to get what they want when they can go to a convenience store instead? The gangs that ran the alcohol businesses during prohibition disappeared as soon as liquor became legal to sell, so why won't the same happen to the drug cartels? What could they possibly do to stop their demise? - abeewon, on 06/28/2009, -0/+2thats a solid argument but ultimately its the illegality of drugs that allows cartels and such to flourish. prohobition < not spelled right, but i think that stands as a shining example of taking things away from the populous that people want
- abeewon, on 06/28/2009, -0/+2drug dealers are evil men?why not get rid of drug dealers altogether and let some cash into government.
- bunnytrigger, on 06/30/2009, -0/+2Did anybody noticed the date on the article? it comes from the future
- fakeguy, on 06/29/2009, -0/+2Uh because no one cares about a guy who did commercials.
- NotSarcasm, on 06/29/2009, -0/+2These ***** pig cops make me sick "turbulant waters make for good fishing" These cops work for the drug cartels and they're not even ashamed.
- thegrantman, on 06/28/2009, -0/+2Well said.
- morningmatters, on 06/29/2009, -0/+2It's hard to sympathize with the street drug dealers...
- JimmyTheClam, on 06/29/2009, -1/+3Thank you so much Sam in restoring my faith in Mexico and Mexicans unlimited ability to blame others for their own actions.
Really, I was starting to worry there for a bit. -
