Some random thoughts on 2 + 2.
Contemplating several conditions and situations about immigration, illegal aliens, drug trafficking and human smuggling, many of those countries south of the border are poverty stricken and desperate. If they can't work and earn an income they grow, produce and traffic drugs as a livelihood.
It takes a seller and a buyer. So who are the buyers. Apparently many millions of Americans from various levels in society. But who are the high profiles. Hollywood celebrities/starlets, that's who. Lindsey Lohan, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and a very long list of hundreds and hundreds more. Betty Ford Kirsty Alley J. Paul Getty, Jr. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Robin Williams Robert Downey, Jr. Ray Kroc Eminem Patrick Kennedy Ben Affleck James Frey Nick Nolte Jan Michael Vincent Nick Carter Boy George Michael Jackson Keith Richards Robert Mitchum Judy Collins Rush Limbaugh Johnny Cash Joaquin Phoenix Pat O'Brien Elton John George Jones Kurt Cobain Courtney Love Leif Garrett John Belushi Eileen Brennan Daniel Baldwin Corey Feldman Corey Haim Marion Barry Whitney Houston Bobby Brown A.

Whitney has been in and out of rehab, and also has admitted to abusing Alcohol, Marijuana, Cocaine and Pills. In 2006 the National Enquirer published photographs of what was reportedly Houston’s private bathroom. The counters were covered with empty beer bottles, rolling papers, pipes and powder-covered spoons and lighters. Whitney’s sister-in-law claimed that she is addicted to Crack and has nearly overdosed several times. She also claimed that Whitney often punches and bites herself until she is black and blue, thinking that the devil is attacking her. #1 Robert Downey Jr. (Alcohol , Cocaine, Heroin, Valium) Robert Downey Jr.’s addiction to drugs started with Marijuana when he was only 6 years old. He was surrounded by drugs, and that was the type of home he grew up in. By the age of 22 he had developed a serious drug problem. He went through his first rehab in 1987, and in 1996 was arrested three times on drug and weapons charges. For the next few years, Downey went in and out of prison and rehab. He continued to use Crack Cocaine and Heroin. Despite this he continued to act and even won an award on the TV series Ally McBeal all while living in a residential treatment facility. A few months later came another arrest for felony drug possession. Before this even came to trial he was arrested yet again. Despite being sober for over five years now, Robert Downey Jr. still gets stopped by police officers who think he might be under the influence. Too much money, fame and fortune.Charlie Sheen trashed a hotel room while drinking bottles of wine at $5,900 each !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And here's more: http://conversations.blackvoices.com...1f21dad5a?sn=1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> So why do we have sanctuary cities and so many public officials harboring and protecting the illegal aliens ? Presently Mexico's President Felipe Calderon is engaged in a drug interdiction campaign that is rapidly degenerating into massive genocide and war against the cartels. Thousands of deaths and inhuman carnage, dismemberment's and be-headings. And what did Mexico's last president, Vicente Fox, do about the cartels and drugs. He facilitated the mass invasion of millions of Mexicans across the border. And he did NOTHING to stop the cartels. Why is Obama refusing to secure the border ?

Excellent observations Wettibe.
And all these celebrities pay top dollar for this stuff. And by doing so, they help keep the prices high for the rest of the users too. It is all an enormous source of income for organized crime. The solution, of course, is decriminalization. Take away the risk of possession and low level distribution and the profit motive goes away. Focus on dragging down the distributors by taking their money away from them. Keep everyone out of jail. Vote yes on proposition 19. I'm not enthusiastic about legalizing pot, but legalizing it will destroy the criminal underground of trafficking and the vast sums of money collected for it. The blow against organized crime that this will wield is really hard to imagine. The street prices are bound to plummet to nothing the minute legalization takes effect. The "medical marijuana" license to get stoned will evaporate overnight.
