good point.




"So who will this crackdown really help? Well, there is of course the city council members who will see a problem they created go away. But there is a more sinister answer. The legalized sale and distribution of medical marijuana in California and other States has profoundly impacted and damaged the Mexican drug cartels. A major source of their revenue has been greatly reduced. To turn back the clock will simply boost their profits and empower them further. This will impact our communities and law enforcement resources. "

do you think he just pulled that out of his arse? (my apologize xkal, if you wrote this) If this could be documented and quantified, I would think that would be a make a strong case against the any "crack downs" or whatever.





"In fact, the Obama administration, in issuing its guidelines Monday, noted that one of their priorities is countering the spread of violent Mexican drug cartels, which use the vast profits from their marijuana sales in the United States to support other criminal activities."

another good point. We are all on the same team here, we all have the same goals, to end the violence of cannabis prohibition in America.
