21. I don't trust any facts regarding the Mexican drug trade. I've lived close to he border in Texas....

and Arizona close to half my life and I've lived through interdiction as an adult since Nixon tied the border up and introduced the general public to coke and speed and Quaaludes ...... I do not believe Sinaloa gets as much as 50% of their income from commercial weed. Maybe if Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán Loera personally tells me so, but I'm not too sure even then.

But heck. Lets cut to the chase. I don't care if I bought the air-filler cap on his spare tire with the drug profits from this doobie I am about to take out onto the back porch and only one of us will return, when I go to the kitchen and get a dos Equis and a piece of Myer's lemon. The reason is that there's more money in Mexico because of the trade. Just like the defense industry in the US most of the people there are not gangsters. Someone actually has to grow and process the weed. Some folks think that since Loera has been in Sinaloa there's been law and order and less local political corruption. Maybe Mexico needs to clean its house. I don't know. But the criminalization of drugs in this country has fucked up that one. Legalize it.

I buy Mexican swag because I like it and I don't want to smoke hydro all the freaking time. Give me an American version of Mexican commercial and I might just obtain it. I don't like corporate grow houses not being market driven. Like, why can't Detroit give us an electric car? Especially when big oil never came out to help them in the days of bailout. Almost as if cars are razors or canaries and oil is the razor blades and bird seed and pet supplies.

Know what I mean?
