>" Since the problem is American consumption of illegal drugs, I'm wondering if it wouldn't be possible to throw a RICO indictment at every illicit drug user. "
Hold it there. Let's not go blaming the pot smoker.
Lets' look instead at the illegality and profit of the drug cartels and their rise to power.Their brutality.
Their ranks are about .0002% of the pot smokers, maybe less.
What we need is assistance from the US to take out those cartels at the invitation of certain Mexican officials and then make a war against them. Give the new incoming administration army powers and a safer judicial situation.
Your suggestion wouldn't stop the cartels. Just bring in revenue for our government.
