Legalizing marijuana would eliminate the huge profits taken in by the Mexican drug cartels, which are threatening the stability of Mexico and the U.S., said Aaron Houston, a pro-pot advocate in Washington.

What is the amount of money spent to fight this problem annually? Would this also be added to the 14-40 billion? IF so how would we stop other drugs,firearms and other contraband that pass our borders daily. I personally think the savings would be stateside only because our borders are still vulnerable.
the time has come to legalize pot in all states for medical reasons. If it helps people then they should beable to have it.
Thats more than sienbsle! Thats a great post!

What if those 70% drug cartels are in fact already controlled by people from outside Mexico, generating huge profits for people who as a matter of fact oppose official legalisation?
