[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someday Mexico might want to deal with its longstanding real problems with cartels. Sorry if it disrupts your beach vacation.[/quote]

Mexico has a cartel problem only because the U.S. has a drug problem. [/quote]

Yep[/quote]

As someone who’s really never done drugs, I just really struggle to understand th demand and how people can support an industry that is so horrific.  I understood the opioid epidemic that started with doctors over prescribing pain pills for routine surgery and injuries.  But it’s been over a decade since the medical community really cracked down on that, so it has not been creating new addicts in the same way.  Who are all these Americans making a choice to go down this path?  I really don’t understand it, although I know it makes me seem naive.  I know one person that uses pot gummies but other than that, I e really never know anyone that uses drugs.  
I’m uncomfortable buying sneakers made in sweat shops….i can’t imagine wanting to buy a product made/transported by people that operate the way the cartels do.[/quote]

Tell me you know nothing about addiction…[/quote]

I’ve read a lot about it but don’t have any personal experience.  What percentage of illegal drugs consumed in America are consumed by addicts, as opposed to casual users?  I don’t know.  If all the casual users stopped, would that make a dent in demand?  And every addict starts somewhere, right?  Putting aside the addicts that started because they had doctors that told them to take an opioid  … I just don’t get why so many people voluntarily start down that path.  If people understood the murder and violence and rape behind their purchases, would it make a difference?  I don’t know.  [/quote]
