Mother Jones: August 2009 Issue is a Must Read

If you get a chance, pick up a copy of this month's Mother Jones magazine. It contains numerous articles about marijuana, the war on drugs, the Mexican Army, legalization, cartels, and border patrol corruption, which are very informative.

Here are some highlights:

We have blown $300 billion on the war on drugs.

Death squads roam Mexico.

Cartels operate in 259 U.S. cities.

Everyone should read "The Patriot's Guide to Legalization". It is a great article on the subject, especially if you have never used marijuana and think it doesn't concern you.
