If America and Mexico ended the War on Marijuana and focused on sending cocaine, heroin and meth addicts to Drug Rehab. To get them off those drugs, they could save a lot of money and lives in the process.

The people that get me very mad are the government officials that are living in mansions, having a very comfortable living yet they take bribes from Drug Trafficers. That is the heart of the matter! Corrupt government officials should face medieval punishments, send them back to the Spanish Inquisition with a tatoo that says "save thy soul, tourment the devil from thy body"
