Bigger picture buddy... because if you don’t eradicate ALL of them you’re doomed to repeat the past. The greed will create the marketplace. The low-level gang banger that just car jacked your mother at a gas station, the “up and coming” little dealer. Yeah, all of them.

Trump has said at countless rallies: “quick trial followed by execution” well guess what, that drug dealer will be just as quickly replaced by a low level lieutenant waiting to take his place. The problem will never be solved unless you send a very strong message.

And don’t be ridiculous, yes, I meant hardcore drug dealers. You can keep your hippy shroom dealer. And alcohol and cigarettes aren’t illegal. True, they are addictive, and yes, alcohol kills many innocent people. Maybe if you throw a drunk driver in jail for years instead of a slap on the wrist there wouldn’t be so many repeat offenders. I drink, but I don’t drive when I do drink, I know better because I understand the consequences.

I live in Los Angeles and marijuana is legal but there is still a very real drug war going on surrounding the substance. The dispensary’s are armed-up, the growers are armed-up. An illegal grow warehouse just bunt to the ground yesterday in Downtown LA. If it’s “legal” than why are there so many low-life’s running around the system doing it illegally? If there are rules we must abide by them or you end up with chaos and lawlessness. But if I understand you correctly “that’s okay, these guys all get a pass because... marijuana is harmless.” Fuck that, by your logic You think all these innocent marijuana dealers skip hand-in-hand to work every day handing out lollipops to little kids.

Maybe it’s different where you live, maybe your local dealer comes over and helps you fix your plumbing or vacuums your place when you’re at work because you feel save enough that you don’t even lock your front door.

Pot dealing is a gateway to more profitable “drug” dealing. You're either choosing to coddle these fools for whatever weird reason or you truly believe that all marijuana dealers are innocent, hard working, church going citizens. Still weird, but okay.

As far as the cartels go, we’ll have to wait and see what Trump, or whoever it’s going to be that takes his place does to them. I’m holding my breath that it will be Trump come November, knowing him there will be a surprise twist to all this “you’ll like how this ends” was a direct quote he told a roomful of ladies back in 2021...
