You know, there's a surefire way to get rid of the underground drug cartel and international drug smuggling- make it all legal! Then, the war on drugs is over, and the goverment has lots of new and exciting things to tax. Plus, you wouldn't have to worry about little raver kiddies dying on "X" because you could regulate the manufacture of MDMA and make sure it's all pure. Same thing with everything else. I wonder if the rural Meth labs problem that has become huge all of a sudden would then go away.... I'd bet you would no longer get the crazy trailer explosions you had before because then the people making meth would be in buisness and would have to follow strict laws about saftey and such. As a matter of fact, wouldn't it then make sense, if you were to legalize drugs and put serious guidelines as to their manufacture, that everyone who still illegally manufactured drugs would be subject to like super serious fines and such? It'd be like making your own Viagra and then selling it on the street....
