Yeah but there is also good and bad meth. People want the best. This applies to all drugs with varying potency.

Well ... I guess you can raise your demand amongst the already existing user base, but I don't think you're adding to the user base by simply making a more addictive and purer product. You're just shifting customers away from a competitor to your product.
In addition to this, countries who've tried decriminalization have seen usage rates go down. Money is spent in treatment and education programs. When you're caught you have to go in front of a panel and talk about your drug problem. It's a smarter approach than incarceration and it's had positive results. If what worked for portugal worked for the US, one would see usage rates drop hurting profits even more.
And even if we legalized every known drug, there will always be a black market for a "dangerous, forbidden thing" because that shit brings excitement to the boring lives of a lot of pleople living in developed countries. It's human nature, sadly.
Anyway, i do find it funny how some people say that they don't care who gets fucked as long as they get their drugs/electronics/whatever fast and cheaply, but at the same time, they say the mexican government is to blame for everything because they don't care about people as long as they get money. What's the definition of corruption then?
While Mexico does indeed need to dig itself out of the hole, it's not like the honest people can do much about the situation right now, that's the worst thing of it.

So, it's like cholesterol?
Then argue using those instead. Breaking Bad is fictional; you can't use the things they do to prove anything.

Breaking Bad is bogus, because fiends don't really care about quality.
Still solid entertainment, though.

while this is true, 'pure meth' isn't going to take dedicated consumers from alcohol or marijuana. Cigarettes could be 10c a pack for the purest of the pure, but I'm not going to smoke them.
and like count says, the hardcore junkies are not going to care about 96% vs 99.99999% purity lol.
Haha, ok I guess a better way to put it would be good enough vs awesome.

You get a certify of origin for your chocolate? iPod? Chic-Fil-A? Nikes? Cruelty free meat? Quinoa?
It's weird that the call is on potheads to do the responsible thing by not buying dope instead asking officials to be responsible by not taking bribes.

That's how I've always seen it. Pot smokers aim for quality because they aren't going to freak out and have horrible withdrawals if they don't get their "fix". The average junkie doesn't give a shit if new higher quality meth is out, especially if it costs more. Not to mention this is bad news for the dealers because they won't be buying as much.
Supply and command...
Well, I don't think anyone is advocating for instead. Why can't both happen?

What about what he is saying is wrong? He's talking about a specific issue that effects him and where he lives. Maybe some people don't know what they are buying and will look a little closer. Most won't give a shit and some don't buy that weed regardless but there is nothing wrong with him letting people know.

Yes this is true, I have seen many fiends wander the streets only picking up the highest of quality.
Sometimes they just can't get that high quality shit and they just have to do without it for the day!
I did. I said what if a drug cartel could maintain its business by engineering newer, more addictive drugs?
I also brought up the idea that cartels would go the legal route. They have the infrastructure set up.
Also, for those people saying that Mexican weed is inferior, I don't think that matters for many casual users and newer users.
Just as an anecdote, I remember my friends discussing how they smoked really shitty weed when they were in high school.
As they got older they developed a better taste in what to get. It was the same with alcohol. They started out with the watered down beers and then moved on to microbrews and hard liquor.
So a market still exists for Mexican drugs. People who lack experience in the matter will go for the cheap stuff the same way millions flock to McDonald's or Hardee's.

I think it's an excellent representation actually, especially for this discussion.

Nothing, but calling for people to stop using a product because of the human toll while using multiple other products that likely have a far greater toll makes him a selfish, short sighted hypocrite
Its not the same situation for a couple reasons.
First off, meth isn't popular with more well-off people like weed and cocaine and whatnot is. Its more on a level with crack in terms of the image it has, deserved or not. The target market doesn't have a lot of money and meth isn't cheap. So when addicts get an opportunity to buy some crap stuff at $30-40/gram instead of the more normal $60/gram for the pure stuff, they take it. Would they like the good stuff? Sure, but they're worried more about quantity than quality.
Breaking Bad was totally off when it came to this. Pure stuff is useful for selling to dealers, who can cut it down and make better profit margins, but in terms of 'demand on the street', its totally off the mark.

you realize that if marijuana were legalized, there would be plenty of companies making shitty, cheap, and legal, product, right? it's not as if legal weed would exclusively be the best shit out there.

America has a long history of using trade tariffs and farming subsidies to protect their local agricultural produce. If weed were a thriving legal business you can bet your bottom dollar that buying American would be the cheaper option.

Yeah ... the only reason a dealer wants something pure is so he can cut it with more crap increasing his profit margins. End users don't see pure product.

Focusing on those things does not make him or his points illegitimate and really have nothing to do with what's being said here.
Really? that's interesting. I was under the impression that weed was seen as a "poor people" drug, like in Mexico.
Wow, you really twisted my words. Did I say they wouldn't buy anything if they couldn't have the best?
Surface of Me
I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
I live in Texas, but I think my weed is too good to be Mexico weed. People here use it as a derogatory term for weed.
Look it up, I don't even smoke weed. Too much work. My laziness is helping save the lives of Mexicans. *pats self on back*

Where did you get that impression? Poor people weed is called shwag. Everyone else in the US is smoking chronic.
Where do you live?

It's strictly a middle class affair where I come from. Well, I'm sure poor people smoke as well but the main demographic and target market for the majority of sales is definitely middle class.
Well, the topic is addressed specifically to users and a lot of posts seem to insinuate that buyers are the core of the problem. Also, the post I replied to made note that less buyers would lead to less corruption, but you could just as easily point out that less corruption would mean less everything.
Just one will be enough? That goes against the entire point you made in the OP! What the fuck?
Yeah, Mexican dirt weed isn't exactly a big thing when you've got tons of locally grown medical-grade ganja floating around. And boy is it some good shit.
Anyone who can't tell the difference between Mexican weed and medical-grade stuff is fucking retarded, by the way. I would imagine most can tell.
Used to be real easy to find shitty brick weed here over the past couple of years its been a bit harder but high quality bud seems to be every where. Now with Colorado legalizing it, its going to have a bigger presence (I hope!). This is my experience based on connects here tho. I for one welcome the increased domestic supply.
Yeah, brick weed is almost completely gone from Washington state, as far as I can tell. Not that much cheaper than our now-legal medical stuff, and it tastes like fucking dirt.
Oh shit, I just realized who you are.
