Quote from sheda:
When the intellect fails, out comes the defences I guess. I put it to you that those killed routinely, from opposing gang members, snitches and law enforcement officials put up a lot more of a fight than any commercial shop owner selling the same product ever could.
Yes, yes of course a smiling man selling a legal product in a shop is nice and better than the drug cartels, the problem is the cartels would not go quietly, Jesus, people are scared to take up official government jobs in some areas over there because they are simply killed for doing so, and your retarded enough to assume the same would not happen if it were legalized and businesses also started to compete with them?
It would be a blood bath, come on dawg I thought you were from the hood and understood the rules of the street?
that argument went out the door when prohibition was repealed.
plus it is a cowardly argument to start with. you devote enough enough legal resources + market forces will eradicate most of cartel influence.
if it is legalized you will be able to buy it on the internet further diluting the activities of the cartel.
