Reddit reviews Reefer Madness: A History Of Marijuana

Nice try, DEA.

"Ooohhhh don't buy drugs you're funding terrorism and drug cartels".

Rather, the drug cartels are forming themselves in an area which lacks government control [citation in this book]. The funding simply comes from the price spike driven by prohibition, which is all the DEA's fault.

The blood being spilled is primarly caused by Calderon's moronic approach to the "War" on Drugs, and it's his cronies that are causing the killing.

So what's this "average user" you're complaining about doing to hurt anybody? Even cocaine, the #1 moneymaker, was legal until around 1970. Until then, such a user was able to use, get high/blitzed to his/her heart's content, without hurting anybody.

Did the above user get savagely violent and start attacking 50,000 people all of a sudden?

No, it's crappy government policies and idiots with guns that are killing people. It is not the user's fault, and it is not Demand's fault that people are dying over this. To blame them is just plain ignorant.

[Edit]

Shit, how could I forget about all the hydroponic weed that comes in from New York? How's that funding the cartels?
