Drug Violence Now Fueled by US Supply Not Just Demand

AP continues to cover the drug violence in Mexico. This story details how the United States is now supplying hitmen to the Mexican drug cartels.

Mexican drug cartels are recruiting hired killers in the United States, since many of their Mexican gunmen are now behind bars, Mexico's federal attorney general's office said Tuesday.

The country's anti-drug prosecutor, Jose Luis Santiago Vasconcelos, said in a news release that "the grand majority" of gunmen for the Sinaloa cartel are U.S. citizens who live in the United States.

Legalize marijuana and you'll see a lot of the problems go away.

What right does government have to tell a man that he cannot smoke a joint in his own home on a Saturday night with a glass of wine and a cigar?

Chasing down marijuana producers and consumers is the most assinine thing in the world.

I could never support any candidate who supports chasing down and harassing marijuana producers and consumers.

End the war on drugs.
