This is a direct result of over 40 years of a failed U.S. policy called "The War On Drugs" whose only concrete results from our point of view in Mexico have been to foment a multi-billion dollar a year black market controlled by violent organized criminals armed with the roughly quarter million firearms smuggled into Mexico yearly from the USA seemingly without difficulty. It's a win-win for the USA because they get their stupidly banned drugs and make a fortune selling firearms. Maybe that's why the policy has been allowed to fail for so many decades. #PobrePueblo

Wow. Rob I agree w/you about our horrible policies here in USA. It has been a disgraceful waste of lives, money....In my small communitty in Montana (so far away) I see and work with lives ruined by drugs alone let alone the violence associated with production and trafficking.
On a happier note, love your pictures.
