The market is only there because we allow it. If we focus on rehabilitation instead of incarceration...
If the 'war on drugs' was worth anything, we would be hunting down the cartels like isis, Saddam, or Bin Laden... Instead, it is quite obvious that the corruption has ahold of every aspect of the government. We saw this with 2022 primary in AZ. Allegations that the cartels bought the Governor's election (which reeked of corruption). Further, the laws are only enforced upon the competitors to the cartels. Let alone the wide open border that the feds seem to be pushing..
Then I have the little monkey in back of my head thinking about the CIA and the cocaine epidemic of the 80's... The fact that United States has the most laws, and the most incarcerated... The point isn't to fix this issue. It's greed, power, influence and a whole bunch of money... All at the expense of the citizens of this great country.
