I agree, drug laws should be based on a rational basis for each individual drug. Cocaine and Heroin are too big to control and should be legalized or decriminalized for that reason but other drugs such as PCP should not because of the lower usage. Spend the money that we put into the "drug war" and what we would gain from legalization and put that into rehab and urban restoration or even other sources and it would be a great trade in my opinion.

For your article, if Mexico did collapse, it would be a nightmare for border control.
