Why would the largest consumer (US) purchase drugs from the drug cartels if it were legal in the US and could be sold at every 7-11?
The drug cartels would lose a lot of the revenue which makes them powerful.
- vlisivka 14y agoWhy you are worrying about revenues of cartels? If you think that selling drugs is legal, then their business is equally legal to business of Apple or Microsoft. Why you are not worrying about revenues of Microsoft or Apple?
- angli 14y agoBecause Apple and Microsoft aren't using their revenues to kill thousands of people. If cutting off their revenues diminishes their ability to do that, it'd be irresponsible of us not to worry about it, or at least consider it
- vlisivka 14y agoSo why worry about revenues when we need to worry about human lives? Legalization of drugs will kills millions but will save thousands. Nice deal?
- laughinghan 14y agoBecause Microsoft and Apple's retail employees don't do drive-by shootings of each other's storefronts. No one here is claiming that selling drugs is legal. Some of us think that selling drugs should become legal, in the hopes that businesses that are like Microsoft and Apple, i.e., don't assassinate judges, etc, will outcompete the cartels and decrease the cartel's revenues, hence decreasing their ability and participation in such undesirable activities.
