In his heyday, Bablo Escobar was worth over 25 BILLION prior to his death in 1993. Countless cartel members and even low level dealers within various organizations are currently worth tens if not hundreds of millions. No country can stop the will of easy money.

Spyder, I understand what you are trying to say, but it's not that easy, and believe me I have seen first hand the destruction of addiction in this country and abroad. As much as I hate to say it, legalize it. I would rather we gain a few more drug addicts "although I doubt it " rather then continue with billions in aid to a drug war the world has no chance of winning.

Lets Legalize it, tax it, and use the $$$$$ for awareness and addiction programs. Be a hell of a lot cheaper.
