I've been saying this for years. I've long believed the cartels have friends inside Washington, and that's why it is still illegal at the federal level. If the US decriminalized drugs, a lot of things would come crashing down outside our borders.

This edit will probably get me hidden, but I just want through this out here, but violence stemming from drug wars is a lot of reasons why people immigrate here.
