7,000 people were murdered by the Mexican drug cartels last year because we in the US kept marijuana illegal, many of the victims were children, police officers and politicians. This year the cartels are on track to kill at least 9,000 more. The prohibition is like an American chemical factory sitting right on the border - it spreads its pollution all over Mexico, but as long as the stink continues to blow south nobody in the US cares.
