Just legalize it all and get over with it, Coke, heroin, weed the whole medicine cabinet and have the US/Mexican government dispense and regulate it. If someone wants to kill themselves with the shit they will anyway. At least this way we get rid of the crime and the Cartels.
We only have one or two beer killing a month doesn't that tell you something.
OTTAWA (AFP) ââ¬â Mexico's crackdown on drug cartels has triggered a spike in violence in Vancouver, where seven shootings have taken place in 48 hours, a Royal Canadian Mounted Police superintendent said.
With the Mexican government in hot pursuit, the drug cartels are "too busy fighting each other" to deal with their supply lines to Canada, causing a shortage of cocaine in Vancouver, Pat Fogarty told CBC public television.
He said the price of cocaine has "skyrocketed to 50,000 dollars a kilo where it was normally six months ago around 25,000 to 30,000 per kilo," sending local drug gangs scrambling to control the dwindling stocks of the drug.
"And so what you have is basically gangsters that do nothing else but make their money through the cocaine trade ... that are now under a great deal of stress and so ripoffs occur. A variety of things can occur at any given day in order to survive."
The city, host of the 2010 Winter Olympics, has seen several murders and shootings in the past few weeks that police attribute to gang warfare.
