LEGAL MARIJUANA WILL ONLY BRING MORE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY

The billion-dollar industry: marijuana sales! Amendment 2.

If Americans are going to grow it, sell it and profit from it here in 
the U.S., do we really think the South American drug lords are going 
to roll over and play dead from making their billions? I don't think so.

Let's think like the South American drug lord. They have two main 
problems: (1) growing it safely and (2) smuggling it into the U.S.

Well, we just solved both those problems. We are now going to grow it 
and sell it here. Their biggest market, the U.S., just increased 
their profit by 1,000 percent.

Now they have to grow their sales force. Ten million illegals will 
help but young adults are less trouble and greedier. You know, like 
the well-organized and funded youth that have been crossing our 
southern border.

An army could cross over. (I'll bet our military could close it in one day.)

This is not random. Maybe this was the drug lords' plan and they have 
well-paid American officials at all levels to help them set this up 
over the next five years and pass more unread laws like NAFTA.

All they do now is collect. They'll contact all growers and sales 
places and sell them protection. Maybe some dead bodies in some 
fields or stores will make their point.

Now they can live in the U.S. instead of South America and run their 
new billion-dollar business with only 25 percent of the effort. Maybe 
add gambling next?

Look at the big picture. Do we really want this? We know our state 
government could have made a law to help sick people who need 
marijuana and didn't. So now we have a constitutional amendment vote.

Could this really happen? Vote "no!"
