Violence has gone way up ever since the US legalized marijuana. Not saying it’s the cause but, having lived in Mexico from 2011 to 2022, it annoys me that people believe that by legalizing drugs the cartels will start earning money legally.
Now I live in the UAE. Drugs are very illegal and violent crime is practically non-existent.
Right, I used to think legalisation was the answer for Mexico's violence. But in reality things keep getting out of control here. People get violent because they can. There's no accountability.
We need am army from outside to come and squash all the major violent criminals (cartels with grenade launchers and ak47s). We need a ruthless justice system like the Arab ones that cuts people hands and puts criminal dogs to sleep.
People that live outside of Mexico dont get it.. in here, the police is part of the criminals, judges are bought by crime, the politicians and rich people give money and space to the criminals. It's a real cesspool.
And I say this as some who was born here in Mexico, all my family is here, and have lived here for a long time.
Now I live in the UAE. Drugs are very illegal and violent crime is practically non-existent.
