Economical and VERY political. If weed were legal the countries in S. America would be thrilled.....along with the drug cartels down there. Now these are the same folk that we have been pissing off for years and all their money and resources would be "valid". With money comes power which means that they'd step up more in the political arena. THAT is down there.

Here in the U.S. there would be some of that element with their funds completely legit and once again....money brings power. The Kennedys, Kerrys, etc. do NOT want to be sitting down in their finer restaurants with "that sort of people". :twocents:

Have a good one!:jointsmile:
