Remember when Pablo Escobar was ranked on Forbes' list of wealthiest people in the world? Now there's a Mexican Drug Cartel Leader worth over a billion dollars, and he wants to send his regards to our politicians in the U.S. It's not just Bush either, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman wants to thank "Senor Obama" as well for continuing to wage a losing war against drugs. Loera made a clear case for continued marijuana prohibition, so he could line his coffers fron the blood of rivals and citizens splashing down in the streets. Too much? Ah hell, he's right!

Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman Loera reported head of the Sinaloa cartel in Mexico, ranked 701st on Forbes' yearly report of the wealthiest men alive, and worth an estimated $1 billion, today officially thanked United States politicians for making sure that drugs remain illegal. According to one of his closest confidants, he said, "I couldn't have gotten so stinking rich without George Bush, George Bush Jr., Ronald Reagan, even El Presidente Obama, none of them have the cajones to stand up to all the big money that wants to keep this stuff illegal. From the bottom of my heart, I want to say, Gracias amigos, I owe my whole empire to you."
A billion dollars this guy has made! Lucky Luciano, Mayer Lansky, Ace Rothstein, and Al Capone all got organized the moment this country decided to make hooch illegal. Mexican President Felipe Calderone is exasperated at our continued inability to just open up the harmless trade, and tax the crap out of it to help get this country out of debt. "''Why don't they make this sh*t legal already! You're killing me here!'"
A Mexican drug leader is starting to make more sense then our federal government.

Are we still lying about this drug? Why is it that a drug that plays a role in the auto immune system, cures aids, stops cancer from growing, is impossible to overdose on. Promotes brain cell regeneration and protects neurons with a layer of fat still pursued in most states including mine as criminal? Floridians still look over thier shoulder for this medicine.
I'm not a criminal for smoking pot.
Bad people will murder and steal and commit real crimes no matter what they're on.
