So fucking sad. I mean, I know that so many of those murdered were in the drug business, but it's sad because that was probably their only option or choice in life. They probably live every single day knowing they can die. And it will never stop. You'd have to burn the entire country to the ground to even get any of it to slow down.

this has been going on for ages now ukit, this is actually nothing new, its been so bad that lately most south american countries are going the way of legalization, the only thing that could actually work and cut the grass under the gang's feet.
At least they are trying,

@ ClearThoughts, I totally agree with scientists wanting evidence based ratings systems. However, whenever I see the stats about alcohol and tobacco being 'more dangerous' than other drugs, I always wonder whether that is based on stats about deaths etc. Because so many more people smoke and drink than do drugs, so the health effects are much more obvious and quantifiable.
If cannabis was legal and everyone smoked it, would it cause more or less damage than tobacco, who knows?- yep, lots of dutch are dying from cannabis smoke, how many billions are you willing to waste on the drug was before you start seeing the flaws in itGeorgesII
- you start seeing the flaws in it, the only one making money are the dealers and the local governmentsGeorgesII

"In general the U. S. media treated this as a counter-intuitive move made in the midst of a full-scale war between drug cartels and the Mexican state.
But it is precisely the bloodiness of that war that has Mexico moving away from ideological prohibitionism.
The idea is to cut into demand by treating addicts as potential treatment clients rather than criminals, to fight corruption among the police by taking away one of their major tools for shaking down the poor and marginalized and to concentrate resources on organized crime."
- Sounds great but they are getting rich manufacturing meth to sell here...not as much in Mexicoukit

can someone give me one solid reason why all drugs are not made legal? seems to me that if you want something it's pretty fucking easy to get it. Prohibition is doing nothing other than causing violence and death.

found it.
“Nuevo Laredo en Vivo and social networking sites, I’m The Laredo Girl, and I’m here because of my reports, and yours,” the message read. “For those who don’t want to believe, this happened to me because of my actions, for believing in the army and the navy. Thank you for your attention, respectfully, Laredo Girl...ZZZZ.”

It would actually be fantastic if Americans decided to stop using drugs.
All those Mexican cartels wouldn't exist.
oh well...
- interesting thought, but the cartels would still exist as the price point on the drugs would just be lower.Point5
- well, a huge market would be gone. they would make more money working at mcd instead.akrokdesign
- nah... The cartels wouldn't really exist. I mean they were nowhere in the past, until the American market opened up.VectorMasked
- The bad economy sure plays a huge roll on this, but the demand from the states has only grown.VectorMasked
- yeah the cartels exist to fuel the american market no doubteieio
- This thread is retarded. People are not going to stop using drugs, period.dMullins
- hahaha I agree w d mullinsMeeklo
- The American market didn't just open up. It was there all along.IRNlun6

...The storming of the National Palace came as the climax of Saturday’s mass rally which was inspired by Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karam’s revelation Friday that three Guerreros Unidos gang members in custody had confessed to killing the students and incinerating their bodies, and had claimed that the young men were handed over to them by the police....

War on drugs isn't working at all. Consumers still want the product and are still getting it, no matter how much money and gun power is dedicated to prevent drug trafficking.
I think it's time to try new things, what's been done so far isn't working and it's killing people.
