6. It's about the money...

It's all about the money and where it goes.

I traveled extensively in Colombia, South America in the 1970's, and very
early 80's. My reason for being there: to buy the best marijuana I could
find for shipment to the United States.

The people I dealt with were not the killers depicted by our government.
They were Moms and Pops with families. And some of the nicest, most
honorable people I have ever met.

This is not a war 'against' drugs. This is a war for 'control' of the
drugs.
And the involved governments' only concerns are, 'Who gets the money.'

Once these products are legalized, we can all live in peace. The quality of
the product will determine its market.

Just like lettuce and tomatoes.

I spent 5 years in Federal Prison for my escapades involving marijuana.
I wrote about them in: Shoulda Robbed a Bank
