Sinaloa Violence

Legalize Cocaine, Fentanyl, and Heroin???? These three drugs alone have wrecked so much in the United States. Not sure how anyone could advocate making these legal

I'll try.

It's a question of tradeoffs. Which has done more damage to individuals and society - the drugs themselves or the drug wars arrayed against them? I don't think it's hard to argue that the drug wars, both directly and indirectly, have done far more damage on both sides of the border.

And it's not like selling coke over-the-counter at 7-11. Legalize in the sense of decriminalize, and sell hard drugs by prescription only to those addicted. See it as more of a medical problem than a moral failing. In that way you significantly erode the black market and cut the legs underpinning the cartels' profits. While not eliminating them entirely, you whittle them down to a size that's more easily handled.

As Rob said, the present course has failed miserably. Long past time to try something else.
