Mexico Drug War: Your Thoughts?

[thranx]

I do not think many would agree with me but here is how I would solve the problem.

1.Legalize all drugs for recreational use in the United States for adults over 18 or 21 (not sure on age yet).
2.Start a campaign for actual education on drugs instead of these FUD campaigns we have now.
3.Increase the punishment for driving under the influence.
4.Make drug test mandatory for anyone on welfare, and if you fail you get no welfare.
5. Go to war with the Mexican cartels-free the Mexican citizens from their tyranny.
6. Establish a plan to divide Mexico into states and incorporate them into the US as they reach our standard of living.

No one I have met really agrees with me on legalizing all drugs. I do agree in the begining it will be hard as people learn how to use drugs in acceptable ways and amounts, but after that happens their use should not be as bad as people will see that drugs are the cause of some problems and not the fact they are illegal. People will learn to use them with in reason, or they will probably die. It will also help to standardize dosing so to avoid overdoseing. It would also mean more pure drugs with less chance of other harmful chemicals being added in with out the end user knowing.

I myself do not use hard drugs, only marijuana.
