Well - I am sorry for the drought and it's impact on agriculture - if we would legalize marijuana and classify it as a harmless smokeable herb - the farmers could receive assistance. I amsure that this drought has a huge impact on their local economy - regardless of what they grow in their fields.

The "Mexican" drought doesn't stop at the border. There's also an American South Western drought, which is killing many animals or causing them to come into urban areas, where they are abused or killed by humans.
