Who is at fault for the war on drugs? Mexicans for trafficking or americans for buying and consuming?

Both...the old supply and demand thing.

Yes! Absolutely!!

If there is demand, there will continue to be a supply.

Both, of course. But the US government may also have made a mistake by declaring 'war on drugs' just like it did earlier in enacting Prohibition of alcohol. By criminalizing drugs instead of regulating them, a whole criminal economy has developed, drawing countles kids and adults into it.

sincerely, see me

Who introduced it? Who took it?

Let's blame Coors for beer lovers...I get youre point! But its not a matter of blame its a matter of cutting off the source. AGAIN close the border

The consumers.
With out demand there would be no reason to produce a supply.

Both.

You can't just blame one side. Though there is a supply and demand principle, it's not something you remove from the market if it dangers public health, like a product for consumption. Both sides need to cooperate to fight this dangerous product, since some people are just too stupid to realize the effects it has on them personally and in our society.
By the way, its not just Mexicans, it's other Latin American countries as well, let's not generalize, it's intellectually unhealthy.

If we Americans is stupid enought to spend our hard earned dollars on **** like that. I can't blame no one, I sell it to.

Both. If there was no market, there would be no trafficking. Trafficking creates a market.

The best thing is admit we've lost the war on drugs. Make them legal and use the monies saved for treatment and prevention. Imagine the crime we'd stop including cutting off a major part of terrorist funding.

buyers... thereÂ´s no market if there are no consumers
Try selling air conditioning to eskimos,,,

Mexicans are not the only ones trafficking, and americans are not the only ones consuming. But the consumer's to blame.

BOTH---but then, drug addicts are going to find drugs no matter what it takes. No matter what! If they are strung out on them & need them, they'll find them.

What else would the hard working americans do to blow off steam in this country? Become alchoholics. Americans work harder, put more hours than any other country in the world. And we don't have enough put away for retirement. Hey it is wrong to use cause abuse leads to alot of negative things.

But let's say their were no illegal drugs, then we would be a country of Alchoholics. Cause other than alchohol I don't see anything else to cure people from the ills of human emotion. Don't say everyone is the same, that's why we live in the USA, to live free and make decisions on our own and not by some dictator (Melosevic, Hitler, Sadaam).

blame the consumers, if no one consumed drugs then there wouldn't be a need for suppliers. supply and demand. and besides there are many other countries contributing to the selling and buying of drugs.
