Most of the illiegal drugs are coming from just a few places. We know where it is. Ive already mentioned one way to stop it. There are others that arent that expensive or manpower intensive. We couldnt stop every single item, but we could probably stop 90% of the amount thats coming in now.
Look how much money we've spent making our airports safer to stop terrorists. Our airports are not very much safer than they were before, and drugs are directly and indirectly responsible for killing an astronomically larger number of people than terrorists ever did or ever will do.
There is very little "homegrown" produce when compared to the total amount being consumed in the US. Its just cheaper and less risky to produce it elsewhere.

BK,
Youve successfully detailed how big of a problem the drug problem is in the US. I agree with you wholeheartedly. However, the solution you suggest is unrealistic and will never happen. I doubt that there is more than one person on these boards that agrees with you. I doubt that more than 5% of the US population would agree with you.
As bad as the drug problem is here, you clearly dont have the solution.
If shipments of surface to air missles, RPGs, or any other kind of heavy weaponry were entering the counrty on a daily basis, I can guarantee you that we would stop it and stop it very quickly. Its not that hard to stop large shipments of anything coming in.
Large amounts of weapons would kill alot of people
Drugs kill alot of people
The difference is that heavy weapons like the ones I mentioned would kill innocent, middle class people. Drugs kill mostly lower class poor people that the majority of society doesnt consider to be innocent since they voluntarily take the drugs.
Therefore nobody gives a shit about those people dying and nothing is really done to stop it. Its always been that way and it always will be that way.
Drugs will never be legalized so why keep harping on it. I personally think the US would be alot better off if we banned or heavily taxes import cars. That will never happen either.
