The addicts aren't the problem. The laws are the problem because addiction is (effectively) criminalized and will remain so. The US has failed LAWS but Mexico is a failed SOCIETY across the board whose government is completely co-opted by the cartels like the pre-Castro Cuban government was co-opted by the Mafia.

@roseeze166 OTOH if you're not a silly person you ruthlessly organize your life including living where you can pay off inexpensive property (no one NEEDS to live in expensive urban areas, wants are not needs) then paying it off early and enjoying many decades of very, very low overhead. Renters are helpless in every way.

It's been that since the colonial era. US drug prohibition paid to destroy the Mexican government and many other countries south of the border. The American people read therefore think at ~8th grade level so the US is not equipped to intelligently debate drug or foreign policy. That prohibits having intelligent drug policy so the problem is permanent and the "solutions" chosen by politicians will invariably be wrong no matter which party they come from. The American public do not at any effective level care about these issues. The are limited by low literacy to the understanding of children and are too fiercely proud for humility sufficient for change (despite what the Bible says about pride).

@j4genius961 The Taliban and Vietnamese might disagree. So might the Irish Republican Army who got most of their country back long ago. France makes lots of noise but what really changes?

Mexico needs an effective dictator because democracy is INHERENTLY WEAK and relies on a free citizenry Mexico never had. It needs a Francisco Franco but with less empathy and the movement to back him up. Laws in failed states reverse themselves and only protect criminals from the people.

Indeed, but because I bought wisely I don't even feel my tax bill. Taxes pay for infrastructure that makes my home(s) worth money and accessible so I don't mind a bit, but I planned my life so they would not be any burden nor have they ever.

@Elementalism We had trails, not real roads in the modern sense. The Roman roads enabling civilization are in use to this day. In what magic society is society NOT cooperative and NOT a shared collective? Think hard.

@bazooka712 Before government roads dominated there were no cars. Roads were funded by local taxes or cut cooperatively or sometimes by slave labor if important to local agriculture, but all of them were collective projects so the reductionist assertions remain teentarded.

Don't live where an apartment costs that much and don't live in an apartment in the first place since that's just pure restriction.
