The US had the sense (or good luck) to back off prohibition. But the country we live in now gleefully elected President Cuckoo Bananas (albeit with the underhanded assistance and protection of the 'press' not to mention the anointing made by Los Supremos); doesn't have the capacity to accept that hemp is not the same thing as marijuana; and is doing everything in its power (quite successfully too) to exponentially ratchet up the violence and devastation of the War on Drugs.
... a terrifyingly common crime in Latin America has moved across the border into the United States: Criminals and their family members are being kidnapped by fellow criminals and held for six-figure ransoms.It's not that we in the US don't deserve to share some of the problems we have caused in other countries. It's that none of these problems had to happen at all.
