despite President Obama's rude reaction to the question of legalizing drugs, if we
deserve it, if our karma dictates, pot (at least) will be legalized during Obama's
terms in office. It seems likely because he is encouraging Americans to be honest,
more down to earth. The honest position in this situation for Mexico and all the
problems the drug war has caused is to legalize all drugs.
Instead of moaning and groaning, realize that if we make a good case for legalizing
drugs, then it will happen. Think about what you want, not what you don't want.
