Mexico's president says 10,000 migrants a day head to US border; he blames US sanctions on Cuba

  • You don't think they are trying? A number of steps have been taken to weaken cartels by the Mexican government in recent history, but as long as US remains simultaneously the biggest supplier of weapons for said gangs and their biggest customer when it comes to drugs, things are unlikely to change. Gotta look at the big picture, my guy.

    I am not saying Mexico does not have problems of their own making, like corruption and inequality, but you can't be looking at things in a vacuum.

    Nitrous oxide: Laughing gas to be illegal by end of year

  • So, according to the article, supplying Nitrous for recreational use is already illegal. If it is such a big problem, what is banning possession going to do other than ruin more lives? It is kind of wild that this is the solution they came up with given the history of drug prohibition worldwide and the fact that UK is one of the originators of harm reduction.

    Sigh.... making the same mistakes and expecting different results when plenty of research out there shows that treating poverty and depression does more to reduce drug use and other risky/antisocial behaviour than putting people in jail for it.

    The article also mentions that the majority of people who use it are between 16 and 24 years old. Great way to end up with hardened criminals down the line.

    August ends with rings of Saturn and a super blue moon hovering over NYC

  • Does anyone have actual pics of the thing? Would love to see it.
