7. Yes, end prohibition

Look, I am a veteran of the war on drugs, was in a few cross country shoot outs as a medic. That said until it is rescheduled, what do you want the media to do? Stay home and not cover it? Just ignore it and it will go away, that's the ticket...real people live near where some of these groves were found, as in walking distance.

That said, my back grew cold and a shiver ran down my back at the mention of "Santa Muerte," and I was not alone. The reporters from the Mexican media had the same reaction. Those who follow it are not what I could call nice. Oh and I would not like to come across any of their groves.

Unlike popular myth, these guys are not peaceful.

So until it s re-scheduled, the next step, before the DC circuit already... It is what it is.
