Marijuana is winning over California and it's not helping our neighbors. The recent article in the NY Times talking about California's union in support of the legalization of marijuana is going to pose some big problems with our neighbor Mexico.
What many do not understand is in this modern society every day becomes more and more globalized. Actions on the home front often result in major problems for other countries. Mexico is currently struggling with a domestic war on drugs, and the actions of Americans are giving reason for the drug lords to fight back.
In my opinion legalizing marijuana is something that should have been done years ago. It would offer more jobs, less money lost in black market transactions, and would significantly decrease crime. Prohibition has got to stop. Unfortunately we must take into consideration that our actions have direct effects to the rest of the world and we must pay attention to Mexico and it's war on drugs.
