Popular Post rethaier Posted October 10, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2014 Unlike Thailand, many times the big guys are gotten in Mexico and South America. But, does it make any difference? No, there is always someone else ready to fill the vacancy. The war on drugs can never be won. Wake up and legalize it and end the violence, loss of lives and huge waste of money. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PiPiFFS Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 And his arrest will have a zero impact on the supply, price or availability of drugs anywhere in the world and may even result in even more needless deaths. Something the USA and is war on drugs policy just don't get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there is always someone else ready to fill the vacancy. The war on drugs can never be won. Wake up and legalize it and end the violence, loss of lives and huge waste of money. And periodically, in Mexico, there are large scale prison breaks, where gunmen break these guys out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
