"Narco State" - National Geographic Channel

[LouisEly]

I believe that stemming from the Jeremy Jeffress suspension there was a healthy debate about drugs, and I recall someone stating that they saw some documentary that said that 98% of marijuana comes from the midwest or something like that. Those of us who live in southern Texas, Arizona, and California, or those of us who subscribe to Esquire (article about 6 months ago) already know how ridiculous of a statement that is, but if you believe that documentary or haven't read about the drug wars in Mexico that have been spilling over into the border towns and states then I invite you to watch the National Geographic channel this Sunday at 8PM (may be 7PM Central).

Really, if you think that drugs aren't a problem or only come from America then you should watch this. Anyone can make a "documentary" show whatever they want you to believe.

Marijuana is only a problem because it is illegal. And you are right, a very, very small amount comes from the Midwest. Most comes from Mexico and other countries south of the border.

Marijuana is only a problem because it is illegal.

So apparently the killings and kidnappings over it (and other drugs) are not a problem?

[TooLiveBrew]

His point is that, if it were legal, you wouldn't have those things over weed

[RyDogg66]

Exactly.

Couldn't agree more RyDogg. You take all of that money off the black market, I don't think that you would see a lot of the violence.
