That and some guards are totally cool with El chapo.
Mexicans praise the drug lords for being more helpful to the people than the Mexican Government.
That place is fucking corrupt as fuck, and I still don't understand why my mom has fond memories of that shithole.

that's cuz she is not having fond memories of the authorities, or the economy, but rather family and friends

I've considered that too, but she frequently informs me that her family and friends were shit.

Not in the sense that all mexicans are bad, but my mom was born into an area full of people who treated her like shit. (I.E. Parents abandoned her, guys tried to rape/molest her, friends weren't there for her when she needed them, ect. )

idk man. Where i'm from in mexico is a pretty nice city

I unfortunately grew up in the U.S, so I don't have any personal experiences from mexico.
But the way my mom describes it, it looks nice and it's possible to have good times but the people are shit(At least, the people she was surrounded by).

maybe because things got shitty with the push on the war on drugs? and its not ruled by drug lords in all regions, it's very here and there

Is that really what caused it to go to shit?

Well, I'm not sure if it's all of mexico, but there's so any regions corrupted that you can't drive around without getting shot for being a drug mule for competition.

well i mean poorer countries are more predisposed to corruption than richer ones, but for mexico's current dis-balance of control it's the drug war that's made cartels so rich and powerful. The first big cartels were Colombian back in 80s but ever since Raegan the war on drugs has been basically letting these cartels become super billionaires in mexico which in turn has let them take control of entire towns

It never ceases to amaze me how hard Ronald Reagan managed to fuck shit up for everyone.

Kinda makes me wish they'd decriminalize drugs in the U.S and people would treat drug addicts as victims/idiots who made a mistake. Making it possible for drug addicts to get their fix from a trained professional, who gives them smaller and smaller doses and therapy until they can finally get off the stuff while taking away the billions from Cartels.

i completely agree. one day man, one day

Probably not soon.
People tend to react in shock in you say drug use shouldn't be punished.
They assume you want to be allowed to use drugs, and then bring up a slipper slope argument.
Then bring up all the negatives about even trying to regulate drugs. (Oh, someone who can get it will go out and sell it for cheap to someone else. Or that's going to cost taxpayers a lot of money! Or that's going to make a lot of people in the DEA lose their jobs!!!)

sooner than you think i believe, marijuana legalization will be global within the next decade or so (maybe even sooner) after that i believe the rest will follow a path of decriminalization or perhaps even recreational legalization. I honestly see the whole situation being fixed in my lifetime

True.

Though I think it'll be around the end of your lifetime.
When all the idiots running shit now are dead, and the more reasonable young people take over and make better choices. Of course, we're doomed if the young people are all SJW's.

Ah, so the feeling of dislike is mutual among all your friends.

Real friends do not need to be wasted to enjoy each others presence, and good people do not need to be wasted to enjoy life. The fact that you need to drink at all signifies only one thing: that your life is as pathetic as your future is.

Must be fun knowing you have so shitty friends that you need to be inebriated to at all tolerate them

lmao shows what you know, real friends do both, its a lesson im sure youll learn when you leave your room and make some
