Tougher Border Can’t Stop Mexican Marijuana Cartels

TUCSON — Drug smugglers parked a car transport trailer against the Mexican side of the border one day in December, dropped a ramp over the security fence, and drove two pickup trucks filled with marijuana onto Arizona soil. As agents gave chase, a third truck appeared on the Mexican side and gunmen sprayed machine-gun fire over the fence at the agents. Smugglers in the first vehicles torched one truck and abandoned the other, with $1 million worth of marijuana still in the truck bed. Then they vaulted back over the barrier into Mexico's Sonora state. In Washington State, now the second biggest domestic producer of marijuana, Mexican cartels are growing improved varieties of outdoor marijuana to compete with BC Bud and other potent indoor plants. Last year, narcotics officers discovered 200,000 high-quality marijuana plants growing amid leased vineyards in the Yakima Valley. The Northwest has traditionally been the province of Asian hydroponic networks.

Well isn't that great for this state were #2 it be really good for own deficit if we could tax it.
If pot was made legal do you really think their would be all of a sudden a huge incress of usage? I've done it and if tomorrow it was legal I wouldn't use it I don't find it useful and I'm sure millions of Americans feel the same way. Just like Millions don't drink but that impairs you but its legal. To use in excess gets you in trouble so make the laws the same with pot. Oh and don't bring up the argument about it'll be just like drinking and driving cause their are people smoking and driving right now whats going to change?

I just like also how inventive they are for getting the pot inside the ramp this was very inventive.
