		<description>My fear is that when legalization comes for MJ, the Mexicans will get an import tax break and those here in the US supplying legally will get screwed out of profit in an economy that they paid one hell of a price for. I dont want to hear that we convinced them to bow out of certain types of contraband, and go legit with marijuana.

They are brutal, they mean business, and they are already here! The demand is here. They already flood the market,they can lose big in a bust and still profit.
The size of this is phenomenal. Whats going on across the border would be enough to get martial law declared if the violence was on this side of the border.

None the less I support legalization for many reasons...but the profit made here should remain here for the most part.

Our current border laws and policy is a disaster and a joke. Eighteen years ago I worked for a private company that kept foreign illegal detainees supplied with candy, soda pop, and coffee. Cubans, Central and South Americans....mainland Chinese before Tianaman Sq. incident.

In many cases, those willing to pay were brought north in hopes of crossing the southwestern desert undetected. I wish I could tell you this was a couple hundred folks but it was thousands over the five years. I entered this facility three days a week and I worked every Thanksgiving making sure the bins were full and coins dropping in the bucket.

The point is, the number of detainees over time always went up. Three times as many folks from Mexico were rounded up and simply taken straight back to the bridge and dropped off by the Border Patrol. To many to house.

I have nothing against the Mexican people, rich culture and loving family oriented people that they are. Problem is, we cant take all of them in, much less the rest of the world. Their desperation must be fixed AT HOME! I would love to come visit more often!</description>

		<description>Obama is a politician, and as such, tends  to talk out of both sides of his mouth simultaneously. He is the President, but if he doesn&#039;t specifically tell the DEA to lay off medical marijuana states, they&#039;ll keep pulling their bullshit raids. I&#039;ve been rather disappointed with Obama in many respects since his being elected. I wish his campaign rhetoric started to match his actions. Dude needs to lay off the legal medical marijuana sellers and users. He has to make it crystal clear to the DEA and other Federal law enforcement types that States have rights, and that they should be allowed to exercise those rights. I&#039;ve been smoking weed for over 40 years. If that&#039;s not proof that is doesn&#039;t kill you I don&#039;t know what is. Chronic health problems make it much more of a priority now than before. I NEED my doobage to get through the day now. Please don&#039;t take that away.</description>
