Evidently, the Mexican government is not doing a very good job on their drug war. But, that's always been the case. Just like their military is as corrupted as their policemen. Mexico is in North America.
Thanks for the post, Barb. Noted !

We are trying to BULLY and BLACKMAIL other countries into going along with OUR failed drug policies!
Without us, other countries would no doubt have more sensible policies.
But, WE LOVE TO EXERT OUR CONTROL OVER OTHER PEOPLE.
Mexico, Colombia, Afghanistan, and other countries, could do VERY WELL ECONOMICALLY if they were just left alone to grow pot, A BENEFICIAL HERB FOR ALL MANKIND; but that competes with the artificial products of the huge Big Pharma Industry, that doesn't like it that HERBS DO A FAR BETTER JOB THAN THE DRUG INDUSTRY'S SYNTHETIC PRODUCTS.
Big Pharma wants only ITS products to relieve pain and mental stress. Products by Big Pharma that are highly addictive and that have unknown, untested-for side effects. HERBS, including Cannabis {pot}, have been used by humankind FOR THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF YEARS, for their BENEFICIAL effects on human organisms.
Big Pharma is only too happy to re-inforce their fiats WITH GUNS AND BLOOD. They want to hold the entire world hostage, to only THEIR products they have a "legal" monopoly on. Heaven forbid you should grow your own medicine or your own stress-reliever in your own backyard! or share it with others for free! What would become of Drug Company CEOs and shareholders if that were allowed??????

Military May not have the Same Local pressures of Corruption But They have The TEAM First CODE Just like the police With A Greater Trained Kill Reflex And Often A Perverse Latent Homosexual Denial Reflex that Leads them to Comit Horrible Crimes against Women..!..!..... I remember Not to Long ago the Army Took The Guns away from the Tiajuana police And when they complained about Being unarmed They Gave them SlingShots Resulting in The Peculiarly Vulnerable State of (HELP.!.!.. I Got no Balls; I get no respect without My Gun; and Now I'm impotent as a police officer Without my Balls).!..!..
I just Wish We could Do the Same To The Corrupt USA Police And All Private Security and Military for that matter; Maybe Then they would Treat other People With Respect..!
The Police and Military World Wide Could Earn Back our Respect if They Stood up and Refused illegal orders and Stopped Corruption and Truely acted to Protect and Serve the Citizens whose Taxes Pay thier Wages..!..!..
Instead of Feeding The problems and Working for the Rich And The Criminals(Yeah I know That has Become Redundant)..!....
Untill We Disarm The Police and the Military I Will Keep My SlingShot handy And Don't Worry I've Got Plenty Of BALLS...!....!...
