well 'el narco' left me totally bewildered, a civil war in mexico so that bored yuppies in america can snort their coke and crystal, the war on drugs is not really a war on drugs its a war upon poor communities, the solution is controlled and regulated production of a natural product, marijuana, the prescribed medical use of pure cocaine and the continued ban on ice and crystal but decriminalisation and rehabilitation for addicts, these are mostly chemicals, even cocaine is a chemically manufactured drug these days, although it contains plant material which has been diluted down. 
a poor farmer in the mexico mountains should be paid by the government a reasonable wage to produce his weed and the government can sell it with a tax and put the profit into community. 
i'm confused why this don't happen immediately. what inept force is at work that stop people making good decisions. why can't the manufacture of weapons be banned globally, arms banned, in five years no one needs be killed by a gun, a missile, or a projectile. some one's making a shit load of cash and probability informs me it's the very same governments that fight the war on drugs.
