Yes, drug prohibition creates the black markets that creates the wildly
inflated prices that attracts the narco mafias and other organized crime
structures. It's a ridiculous failed policy that has never made sense,
and something I've never been able to wrap my head around as to why the
average person would even a.) give a shit what I (or anyone) puts in
their own body and b.) NOT understand the correlation between drugs
prohibition and the fucking massive violent crime it creates.....

Its fucking crazy man.  And yes I could totally imagine people like
Shorty Guzman having a vested interest in keeping drugs prohibition
alive....  the amount of marijuana coming from south of the border has
gone down dramatically in the past few years, cuz of all the states
where it is legal or decriminalized, and the quality of the bud from
said states being SO much superior to the shit from mexico.
