“First, what did I write that made you think that I thought that the Mexican people are the one buying and taking drugs. I really like the Mexican people. They are family orientated and a very friendly and happy people. It is the Americans that are buying most of the drugs. I liked your comments, but think that you are wrong about the cartel being capable of competing. If the drugs were legal the Mexican cartel would turn into a legal corporate business that would probably go bankrupt from all of the world competition. If countries produced it and made it free (not a chance of that happening, but if they did), the cartel would definitely need to turn to other crime, and that is not to say they would not, but they would not be able to make money from drugs. If they were capable of competing, it would be a legal business that would provide jobs and eliminate the need for violence. The US at one time had a alcohol cartel, (organized crime) with the legalization of alcohol that cartel is not as much of a problem as it was and would be even less of a problem if all drugs were legalized. There are some thing that can not be legalized, so we will always have some problems to cope with.”
