Diego, I agree with you in some of the topics you brought up. As a Brazilian, I am not totally aware of the problems caused by traffic organizations and guerrillas in Colombia, though I'm acquainted with some issues related to Farc. Nonetheless, the solution of this situation cannot be the legalization of all types of drugs, including those which lead users to addiction, such as cocaine and crack. Other face of this issue is "what would traffickers do for living after the new-found competition of the government?". Possibly they would not give this up easily. In the aftermath of it, I think drug dealers would try to lower the production cost, adding many harmful materials, as crushed glass (what they already do). Or worser, traffickers could shift their "profession" to other sectors of organized crime, weakening public security until it reaches levels of even more dangerous concerns. Therefore, an easy and quick solution would unfold many consequences relatively worst than the so-called former problems. Actually, I believe that regardless of any legalization, war or crusade, illegal profitable acts will still be present in most of societies... However, the legalization of marijuana is a serious issue which has been seen, bit by bit, as a necessary action.
