    I like how they include when they're wrong too! Because they like to show you when they catch everyone and how the cops always have to "look good" and "be right" but they're wrong too sometimes. It helps humanize them and hopefully teaches them too that NOT EVERYONE IS A SUSPECT sometimes they're just traveling and confused - not smugglers!

      @@shyone8386 Nope, not a shot. In fact, it would make the issue worse. California where I am legalized Marijuana, and guess what? Illegal grows actually went up, because the taxes on weed are so high that people would rather just go to a dealer than go to a dispensary. The only people in CA who visit a dispensary are tourists, everyone else has a dealer lol. The advantage of drug decriminalization is that it allows addicts to seek help, and stops prosecution of people who are possessing. But it does not in any way stop the black market one bit. I still believe that drugs should be decriminalized, but people act like that's going to immediately dry up all the crime, when in fact it wouldn't even dent drug dealers' profits. And as long as there is profit to be made, there will be violence to control it. The issue was that we made it illegal in the first place!

    I feel so bad for a lot of these drug smugglers as a lot of them do it out of desperation. I also feel bad for those who consume these drugs as I believe they too, are doing it out of a sense of desperation. A hope to feel better in a bitter and unpredictable world. Perhaps disappointed or bruised, drugs may bring a temporary happiness or peace. I know a peace that passes all understanding. And it is not in the world of drugs.
