Can't. There's an Indian reservation right on the border.

I just find it very disingenuous when people rant about illegal drugs, while TV is overloaded with commercials from pharmceutical companies pushing THEIR drugs.

I think ANY PLANT should be legal, including mushrooms, peyote, etc. I understand some drugs really ARE evil, like ICE, and heroin, and crack. But, I don't think people should be thrown in jail for using them. Confiscate them and destroy them on the spot maybe, I don't know. But, if someone is using drugs, but they aren't breaking any other laws, then I believe it is their right to do that. As long as they aren't hurting someone else.
Anecdote:

I was visiting my sister that takes various pharmaceuticals. She walks into the kitchen raving to my mom about junkies. Both of them were on scrips, right as they were complaining about it. Both of them, high and complaining about drug users. I shake my head.

Why would "There's an Indian reservation right on the border." = "Can't."

LOL. Cute.

Hey Cicero, where might I find that discussion about the legalization of other, more dangerous drugs? Since there are a lot of people here from other countries, I've been wanting to find out how that's been going. I remember seeing some documentary several years ago, and the outlook seemed pretty bright for some of the addicts that had gotten into programs, but I haven't seen anything else since then. Soooo...

That's what I was thinking.

Ron Paul was debating Stephen Baldwin last night on Larry King whether pot should be legalized. It was pretty funny, a Baldwin brother debating against legalizing pot, and a politician debating FOR legalization.

classicman 03-14-2009 11:53 AM
Here is a link about the interview.

Well Ron Paul thinks its ok to drive while under the influence of marijuana. He also doesn't think there is any DUI for marijuana..

Baldwin guaranteed that marijuana use will lead to other drugs.

Mexico is a sovereign nation. We can sure as hell build a wall between the United States and any sovereign nation.

That was great! Thanks for the link.

Sorry Cloud, the hits just keep on coming...

Police find 7 bodies in Mexican border city

Cloud 03-14-2009 09:08 PM
it's a daily occurrence. Just in the past couple of weeks, they found several decapitated heads in ice chests near Guadalajara (which is NOT near the border); a prominent lawyer was gunned down as he sat in a busy intersection in broad daylight in Juarez; and the police chief there resigned. Mexico has sent thousands of troops into the city to keep the peace. Citizens are paying them to stand on their street on in front of their businesses; one can only presume the drug cartels are paying them not to.

ETA: it's 9 bodies now

sugarpop 03-15-2009 10:36 PM
And yet more reasons to legalize drugs in this country.
