just like south american cocaine is smuggled into america because it is easier to get by growing it down there than here. where as pot is often grown domestically in indoor grow ops.
so if you use the gun trafficking that happens to blame america for mexico's problems then you might as well go ahead and blame colombia for chicago's problems as well... cause that's about the same thing.
You're getting it the wrong way round. It's America's demand for drugs that causes it. So that still makes it America's fault. 😉
