There's a reason interdiction teams sit facing the southbound side of the interstate and not the northbound side.

They don't care about stopping the drugs. They just want the money to buy more toys. A car full of drugs is worthless, a car full of cash buys more tacticool gear and MRAPs.

And hurts the murderous cartels more than a few hundred pounds of weed or kilos of coke. To be fair they work both sides

If we legalized, there would be fewer, if any, murderous cartels.Plus, you have less of a need for LEO involved in contraband control and they can use those resources towards other things.

They'll find other ways of making money and terrorizing people. Thinking the cartels will just go straight or beca non-factor is ridiculously naive. C'mon Ras, you know better than that.

Well, if decriminalized, drugs would be a non-factor as far as possession crimes goes. That would free up cops to concentrate on the truly violent elements of society. Lets face it, people are always going to do bad stuff, you simply cannot stop that. However we can stop ruining people's lives for substances they choose to put in their own bodies. Personal responsibility should rule the day.

I'm all about personal responsibility. We should let overdose people die. That'll free up money and people to care for people who care about themselves. You know, personal responsibility.

Your post had nothing to do with the Cartels though.

If cops aren't running around trying to stop Johnny dope dealer, they can then concentrate on the violent elements of society i.e. cartels.

The true fantasyland is believing the war on drugs can be won. You cannot save people from themselves.

Btw your argument is exactly the reason we've ended up with an unlimited state.

Says the guy thinking we'll all be holding hands and singing. In his fantasyland. What's my argument?

That the cartel will simply move on to something else. In other words, there's always a boogeyman around the corner waiting to get you. That logic has been used for years to justify an unlimited state and it also leads to a loss of personal freedom.

They'll move on to something else, absolutely. How have I said they're coming to get me? The only person here with this boogeyman mentality is, well, you. I don't have anything to do with drugs. I have nothing to worry about.

Damn dude, go back and read your own post. You said the cartels will move on to some other way to make money and terrorize people. It's the boogeyman mentality. That is a politicians wet dream.

Of course they will. It's not a boogeyman scare tactic to keep up the war on drugs fight. That's on you. I'm stating exactly what they'll do. Move on to something else. What's so hard to understand about that? The only person here creating some boogeyman is you, son.

Just because they may move onto something else is no reason to keep up the failed war on drugs simply because it doesn't effect you. It actually does affect you because your tax money pays for all of it.

Let's say the cartel moves on to human trafficking (which they already do) guess what, that's an actual crime with a victim. If the cops aren't hindered with busting people for drugs, they can solve these problems.
