Anyone who thinks individuals who have chosen to traffic drugs are all of the sudden going to go out and start paying taxes just because the drugs they were selling are declared "legal" has been smoking something! The cartel violence in Mexico isn't about drugs: its about money. If cartels could make more money selling bottled water, they would do so. Legalizing drugs is not going to change the violent activities of the cartels. Hutchison has it right.

Is this guy retired or overdue for retirement? There is a huge movement for legalization, HELLO? Now with the violence in Mexico and our suffering economy this country can't afford not to legalize pot. Even if those two things were not happening now it is long overdue. The lies and corruption have reached enormous proportions. Legalization will stop the cycle and hard drugs will be harder to market at that point. Our Govenment throws pot into the same catagory as meth and herion. Kids think that all drugs are okay because they know they are being lied to.
