I did say it first, at least from what I am aware of, when I wrote Birds, Stones, and Economic Stimuli awhile back, but I’ve had this article from the Washington Independent brought to my attention today and I’m happy to see someone in the real media talking about the cause of the drug violence in Mexico. Of course, as real journalists with futures and careers they’re all too scared to say we should legalize super-scary cocaine (and even more super-scary meth) because from what I understand these are the Big Three in funding the drug cartels, but pot is of course a step in the right direction.

Now if only they’d learn from history that prohibition of a substance increases usage, maybe we could get some real changes made.
