American drug users whose drugs were routed/supplied by these cartel members (i.e. the majority of drugs these days) are indirectly responsible.

legalize and regulate marujana and the problem goes away. Well it goes away until the next violent and illegal business fills the hole.

True.

Yet most American drug users don't bother fighting for change. Lazy fucks.

The majority of drug users that I know do.

How so?

By simply bitching and moaning amongst their friends?

Or by actually contacting their representatives, demonstrating, or campaigning for office themselves?

The problem is it's usually drug users who do fight for change. The non-drug users rarely fight for it because we don't care. If the non-drug users fought for legalization then politicians would take notice. But in a recent speech class at my school the stoner of the class did a presentation on legalizing pot and it was such a shitty presentation. "Like, uh, pot should be legal because studies (source: High Times) show that it can cure everything, and like it's good for your immune system..." and gave examples that didn't matter to a lot of people.

But this is a great example of why drugs (not just pot) should be legalized. If marijuana or even cocain where legalized, overnight you'd have Winston buying more land to grow pot and pfizer building new state of the art factories and distribution centers to sell their cocaine. And I now we have all these conspiracy theories about evil private buisness owners are out to rule the world but I trust some MIT chemist and Harvard MBA much better than I trust Paco.

The Mexican drug lords will find something else (like prostitution and weapons) but free those up and they'll have to find another career at McDonalds where they can cap some nugget theives.

Bullshit. The governments that keep the black market alive while simultaneously putting innocent citizens in prison are responsible.

And who is "the government"?

People, like you.

And exactly how are "innocent" people getting put in prison? That's like saying "innocent" speeders are getting tickets. If they broke the law, they're not innocent. If you don't like the laws, then fight to change them.
