I wonder if anyone realizes how much of a troll you are. Its nearly impossible to live in this world without 'funding' something abhorrent. Do you wear shoes? Maybe they were made by a child sweatshop laborer. Do you eat meat? The animals probably lived in extremely cruel conditions before they were slaughtered. Just go live alone in a hut and grow some vegetables. (You can even grow your own guilt free weed). We don't need you here. | ||

It probably contains coltan mined in congo, where it is used to pay for the civil war. Mexicos drug war has nothing on the mess there. But yeah, marijuana is one of the biggest sources of income for the cartels. Legalizing it would be about the most severe blow one could deal to them. | ||

Also, amused by all the ad hominem. "You do bad too so don't criticize me for directly funding a drug war!" Now I know, and I'll be more aware when I buy my next tech product. 50$ says you keep buying pot. | ||

In Portugal we almost don't have weed, it's always hash and any weed is always home grown. It's true that it's the consumers that "finance" the cartels but at the same time it's not fair to say that because you buy a product in your home someone dies in another country and so it's your responsability. The man that pulls the trigger and the one that tells him to shoot are the ones to blame. Even the mexican politicians are way more guilty that any USA consumer, because of the corruption and lack of results. All the hash in Portugal comes from marrocco and even tho they are really poor atleast they don't have this conflicts.. How is the situation right now? Is it any better? hope so my mexican friends since you have such a beautifull and historic country, i've been there and i now you deserve better! | ||

Who cares if he keeps buying pot? Your original statement was 100% false. Not everyone in the U.S. gets their weed from south america. | ||

Not sure where this is coming from, the major drug trades in Mexico and South America are Cocaine/Heroine. Sure there is some pot, and, I'm sure some of it is transported to the southern us. But the majority of the conflict is funded by the transfer of harder drugs (that cant be grown locally). At least in my area, the majority of Weed is grown locally and in the central British Columbia (canada) area. Im not a pot head, but it seems pretty silly to blame potheads who very literally have nothing to do with it. It would be way more expensive to grow pot and ship it 5000 miles north to canada then the pot is even worth. Hence, they deal in Cocaine and heroine. | ||
