STOP FIGHTING LEGALIZATION OF POT

Mexican drug cartels are only here because marijuana is illegal, and
thus profitable. These offenders wouldn't be here if pot was
decriminalized. This fact is simple and obvious, yet your continued
support of law enforcement and marijuana eradication is akin to
bashing your head against the wall to relieve a headache. The
littering, the pollution and all the environmental damage is directly
due to the law and your support.

You could say pot is evil, makes people stupid, is a gateway drug,
etc. But it is absolutely absurd to blame the effect when the law you
support is the cause.
