    "You ain't just smoking pot, bud. You're smoking some heavy-duty pesticides from Mexico."

    Tighter border controls after Sept. 11, 2001, forced industrial-scale growers to move their operations into the United States.

    Seven hundred grow sites were discovered on U.S. Forest Service land in California alone in 2007 and 2008 — and authorities say the 1,800-square-mile Sequoia National Forest is the hardest hit.

    Weed and bug sprays, some long banned in the U.S., have been smuggled to the marijuana farms. Plant growth hormones have been dumped into streams, and the water has then been diverted for miles in PVC pipes.

    Rat poison has been sprinkled over the landscape to keep animals away from tender plants. And many sites are strewn with the carcasses of deer and bears poached by workers during the five-month growing season that is now ending.

    Well; your neighbors bring banned pesticides into the country. Our neighbors, the good old Bangladeshis and Pakistanis, are nice enough to infiltrate the country illegally and plant bombs in various parts of the country to kill the natives by the hundreds. Whoever said 'Love thy neighbor' clearly didn't think ahead of time. ;)

    In India, we have a different saying. We say 'Thou shalt allow your neighbors to infiltrate the country illegally, kill the natives, breed like pigs, and form a reasonable vote bank in the area, so that you can take advantage of them during elections'. Our current government is very keen on this. :rolleyes:

    In the US the illegal problem is primarily economic as well as legal.

    The fraud and cost of benefits to illegal aliens is costing the US a fortune. However, the majority of the peope don't have hatred for the illegal aliens.

    I think people not understand how big America is that you can grow weed in national parks and get away with it.

    Failed? If one person is kept off drugs then it is a success.

    It's not a crime in Somalia and it is a problem.

    Oh yes such a great success that it actually pushes more into trying drugs than it keeps people off of drugs. Such a great success that it locks people up for possession, such a great success that it costs us billions.
    Somalia has many problems, not just drugs...

    Oh yes that's great reasoning as to why to keep something illegal, because it is illegal.

    Awesome arguments you bring Homebiz..

    All the while it's easier for kids to get than liquor, it funds gangs, drugs are made in people's bath tubs with no quality control.

    BTW the US public appears to agree with me that the 'war on drugs' is in fact 'failing'

    So my reasoning "if a person wants to stay out of jail then stop breaking the law" is wrong?

    For a reason to continue with the failed war on drugs yes, it is not a reason.

    Well there is no shortage. I was offered weed within minutes of hitting my hotel lobby in Moscow in the 80's. Of course, they were trading in anything in those days. It was probably Afghani weed.

    Exactly.

    Yes, failed. It seems you support many things that have miserably failed, that you support the war on drugs is hardly a surprise. Are you going to tell us all the how marijuana kills next?

    This is why people should be allowed to grow their own, for personal use.
