Best line:
And cartels have oceans of money for corrupting enforcement because drugs are so cheap to produce and easy to renew. So it is not unreasonable to consider modifying a policy that gives hundreds of billions of dollars a year to violent organized crime.This blog has been saying that drug cartel violence is coming north of the border. It will be like prohibition, only worse. What should we do? What do you think?

Portugal's experience with legalization makes a worthwhile study. Counter to opponents' fears, the incidence of drug abuse also went down. Win/win.

I'm more inclined to decriminalize most drugs. Leagalizing pot wouldn't be terrible. I'm willing to take that chance.
