5. Too Bloomin' True

Too bloomin' true. The US has the huge pool of drug consumers who snort, inject, and smoke the stuff thugs, brutes, and murderers pass through Mexico and Central America. The US (Thanks to the NRA and like-minded organizations) supplies the firearms that contribute so much to the violence and lawlessness that have undermined the legal and social underpinnings of Mexican civil and political society.

I quit smoking cannabis nearly thirty years ago, mainly because the potency had gotten far stronger than I could handle. Nevertheless, I believe that those non-addicts who smoke or snort whatever ought to do what so many concerned citizens did in support of the farm workers back in the 1960's and 1970's--stop buying the product.

Making, shipping, and distributing the product is what causes so much of the mayhem in Mexico and Central America.

Addicts should get help, get treatment, and clean up their acts.
