Unconstitutional? wha..? Wrong. Not all laws are explicit in the constutuition, in a literal sense. hee. Scapegoat for ills of our society? Meth Amphetamine, look it up.

it is not a fact that drug traffic will increase, because Vicente Fox is on Bush's side of the fence in this regard, and he has been strengthening Mexican enforcement. the law does not affect selling or distribution, those laws remain the same. IT IS A FACT that if you legalize drugs, to eliminate the cartal/mafia trade that you are so affraid of. It is just a way for the Mexican legal system to reduce its burden, like the US should, which in some cases 60-75% of inmates in State and Federal prisons are in for drug crimes, often times repeat possession charges. now that is retarded! when you adjust for the proportion of people incarcerated and the success of the US Prison system and ending recidivism, the US spends more $$$ on prison then on schools! now that is retarded, but you my friend, for agreeing with them are close.

Like i said, it is a fact that if u make drugs more accessable by legalizing them, the use and trafficking of drugs will go up. U can water that down with yr dribble all u want. But its common sense. The other shit u bring up are different matters, altogether. i.e. the cost to U.S taxpayers, toll on prisons etc. It sounds like u r pro-Mexican legalization of LSD, Opium,etc..? That's retarded. Fortunately, Bush and the federal govt. seems to have applied some pressure and made FOX realzie, "not such a good idea"...
