Edit: in fact, the only reason drugs remain illegal at all is because some very wealth and powerful people make too much money from it remaining so. Well, that and so the CIA can fund illegal wars around the world.

You are aware that your articles talk about American legalization and are irrelevant to the topic at hand because the Mexican president doesn’t not hold jurisdiction over the US

Of course I'm aware.

Wait, are you trying to tell me you think it wouldn't translate into helping, if they did it on the other side of the boarder too? I have to check because that's pretty wild.

We are only talking about Mexico here

Mexico having a policy of legalizing all drugs isn’t going to stop the violence because the violence comes from people selling to the US. No cartel is worried they are going to get arrested in Mexico for having these substances

Yes, yes we are talking about Mexico. Any hit to the cartels profits, be it in America or Mexico, is going to help battle the cartels, even if you don't want to beleive it and even if you declare it not to be true.

You see, they actually sell drugs in Mexico too. Itll also bring down the price of drugs in the US, as the market will be flooded. Its really not hard. You just don't like it and that's not the same thing as it not helping.

Be my guest to prove me wrong then

[–] undergroundoverground@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

I already did. You just didn't like it and, again, declared it wouldn't work without a hint of evidence or even any argumentation.

I don't need a magic bullet to disprove "nothing will help." Youre just failing to realise how poor a declaration it was.

Also, I never needed to prove you wrong in the first place. You never proved yourself right. You just declared it to be thus and such.

You seem to be circling, this is frivolous

I could repeat what I already said about your proof but then you will just say it again

[–] undergroundoverground@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

And you can just re-drclare your baseless nonsense too.

No, weaponised ignorance and a burden of proof falacy is not a cogent rebuttal and pretending it wouldn't work either side of the boarder is desperate, at best.
