A concern that I have is that 65% of cocaine in the US comes through the Mexico border, though it's created in Columbia. Cocaine is currently cheaper and more easily accessed than 25 years ago, so the war on drugs has pretty much failed. I just wonder what the vote will lead to in terms of our border with Mexico. Will Mexico temper their enforcement efforts on their side?
On a lighter note, LL and I went to our favorite Italian restaurant last night with our pals JC and Carol. They have a 13 month old baby and we were talking about babies a good chunk of the evening. They also offered us plenty of baby paraphernalia, which is always welcome!! And the food of course was awesome as always and we had our favorite waitress, Jenna, who is studying to get her masters in nursing and only works there one day a week. We used our Groupon, so the meal was going to be pretty inexpensive for us, but JC and Carol picked up the tab anyway! What a nice surprise. It was the first time in a while that I've had wine and boy did I feel it later on. Not so much in the sense of being drunk, but the histamines caused a sneezing fit and runny nose! Benadryl to the rescue fortunately.

Hasn't anyone told the Mexicans that when a drug is legalized it reduces the price and takes away the profit incentive for the illegal trafficers?
I'm not feeling sorry for Mexico. With all the problems in this country, the Mexican economy isn't high on the priority list.
I was going to say the same thing but dad beat me to it. I would say if anything it should be something that becomes very highly regulated in Mexico as well. There is a lot of profit to be made and lives to save in taking this very profitable export out of the black market and into legal trade.
I don't think you should encourage use of course! But there are ways (look at the Netherlands) to make it work.
