Sailor Capone

Columbian drug-dealers now have their own submarine navies for the purposes of drug smuggling. Adm. James Stravidis, Miami-based U.S. Southern Command, was quoted:

“In simple terms, if drug cartels can ship up to 10 tons of cocaine in a semi-submersible,” Stravidis wrote, “they can clearly ship or ‘rent space’ to a terrorist organization for a weapon of mass destruction.”

Sounds dangerous. Ask yourself, who created the economic incentive for this innovation?

Prohibition 2.0 makes as much sense as pervasive indiscriminatory use of antibiotics; we are literally evolving super-criminals. Today they have their own navies, tomorrow will they have their own space program?

We need to decriminalize it ASAP instead of financing terrorist R&D.
