has fueled plenty of violence outside our borders. I feel for the Mexican farmer and even the California growers who took the risks to provide cannabis. We took that risk ourselves for several years. We never got rich, but we grew our own smoke and kept our friends happy. But it's time to face reality.
America must decriminalize all drugs and provide treatment centers. Then, maybe, if we can just stay out of their way, our southern neighbors might have half a chance for decent, peaceful, cartel free lives.
