The cartels are just too powerful. Yep...because the govt/military have to follow some semblance of rules as they may be. The Cartel..not so much. _________________________ If you were a dinosaur, the only thing you would do is suffer from reptile dysfunction.

Mexico is one of the least safe places these days; didn't used to be that way! My one neighbor in SoCA was from Mexico. The last time they visited there, they hired a bodyguard.

No strident rules about acquiring the raw ingredients in Mexico(you need an ID for some cold meds in the US), and theres a huge profit margin involved, meth is cheap to produce. Plus, unlike coca or weed, theres no growing and harvesting cycle, its just synthesized. _________________________ OBummer might be your president, but he sure as hell isn't mine.
