i'm just saying that Mexico should have to bear responsibility for their part in stopping the influx of drugs here.
i say legalize pot and let all of those offenders out of prison and set up huge rehab programs all over the country. rehabiliation instead of incarceration owhen possible. 63% of all female offenders are in prison due to drug offenses. 35% are pot related. that is insane!!!!
