Newsweek: Is Cancun Safe? 14 Killed in Brutal Crime Spree at Mexican Resort Town
#unpopularopinion #endthedrugwar ... Only reason these backwater thugs (the drug lords who fund this violence) are filthy rich is because we've created a system by which they can make a killing trafficking illicit drugs into the US. Decrminalizing drugs would severely cut into their profits.
We're 40 years into the so-called "war on drugs" and drug use is the same as it was 40 years ago.
I don't support or condone drug use. Drugs destroy people and families. But our war on drugs has added to the misery as entire sections of our population are thrown in jail while other sections of the globe are plunged into daily violence of unimaginable magnitude due to the demand our approach has created.
Sometimes when you declare war, the only result is a smoking crater.
