Mexican marijuana cartels sully U.S. forests, parks

No need to secure our border. They are just producing the substances that all them old hippies use.

This would be news if they wrote this article 35 years ago. This has been going on for years!

Demand is a powerful controller.

Shoot the dealers. Anyone selling drugs gets the death penalty...no appeal. The jails are full of morons that are a blight on society. They vote liberal, and raise their school drop-out offspring to be liberals.

Dear El Paso Rsident:

Your conservative idea is to shoot all librals and put them in jail and you call them morons. The jails are full of people who are called blue collared criminals....what is lacking is the many white collared criminals, whose crimes are not considered first degree felonies, but should. There is room in jail for both kind. Furthermore, all kinds of people smoke and demand marijuana and while the demand is there a supply will be harvested. For all we know you are part of the demand problem! Thus, there is a place for you at one of the FCI Facilities.

As for the death penalty, who are you to demand death to all who deal drugs? Why don't you just go ahead and demand a death chamber for anyone you think should not be around? Just think about it, life would be so much better for you and your conservative views!

Another example of ridiculous marijuana laws and policies by our ultra right-wing conservative government. This is the result of bad policy makers.....plain and simple. Join NORML and protect our most precious lands. Legalize and tax it. We have millions upon millions of perfecty good acres for which to grow the most harmless recreational drug known to man. Let's use it!!
