I think the problem started when the US made alcohol illegal. Gangsters (Capone is most famous I think) sold the alcohol illegally. Once the alcohol became legal again they needed to keep their businesses alive, and then they had the money to do it too. They created a demand for their supply and things just boomed from there.

Because as a whole people of this nation are too unimagined to have the creativity to equate any good time with out chemical mind alteration. And seeing that people desire this, the media feeds it. In movies, TV, commercials for Alcohol. Ever notice everyone has a great time, but they never told you which one wiped out a family in a minivan driving home from the party or bar? The cool people alway drink or get high and the uncool nerds and geeks are the straight laced ones. And they don't get laid. Americans in general find enjoyment basically in 2 areas only, sex and drugs, and when they can combine the 2 the better.
Legalize??? that makes too much sense. This governent is not about sense. Sure they could legalize it. regulate it. So not only would it be cheaper keeping addicts from stealing so much. Take the winds out of the cartel's sails. Make anyone selling it purchase a license. The stuff will be safer because it won't be cut wit Drano and other terrible unhealthy stuff. It would stop random killing by gangs trying to secure their drug turf. And best of all the feds can tax it. They love taxing things. BUT, they would have to admit defeat. And government never wants to admit defeat. Last time they did, they still have not gotten pass Vietnam, and though they are headed that way again because they have not learned from the mistakes of the pass, can't see the writing on the wall. So, no declaration of defeat. Just try to stop the hemorhaging.

I have come to the conclusion that our country will never win the "war on drugs", why? Lets see. . .how are the drugs gettting here??? By boat, by people ingesting them, by plane. . .if our security is soooo tough, then we would find every single once of drug that comes in besides the homeade basement drugs.. if drugs were to stop, our economy would fall a little, millions of people would lose their jobs. . . .DEA, NARC's, etc . . .so instead of making the drugs legal and killing jobs, they keep them illegal, and when someone tells you not to do something, you are more likely to say. . ."wow. . .let me try this and see why I am not allowed to do it". . ..I think its a continuous circle that will never end. . .i guess you can say the demand comes from no supply because it's all illegal in the US. . .until we can supply it, the demand will never go away.

the U. S. is the biggest customer of things and centers in the international. because of the fact a number of those products are unlawful drugs, it quite is clever that the U. S. could be the biggest customer of unlawful drugs besides. once you're maximum appropriate in lots of medicine coming to the U. S. via way of the caribbean, the quantity coming by way of Mexico is only as important. the present violence in Mexico is basically because of the present administration attempting to rid itself of ties to the crime syndicates that have had heavy impact on the two community and national politics and regulation enforcement for years. it is been a tragic time for the various harmless human beings and their families that have been caught up in this conflict for skill. mutually as i'm no fan of the "conflict on drugs," that the Reagan administration prioritized in the eighty's, i'm very pleased with Calderón for making this brave attempt to freshen up his government. possibly you're actually not observing the main appropriate information classes, yet i've got considered lots of coverage with regards to this violence. mutually because it is overshadowed via national politics, recession communicate and the conflict in Iraq there remains lots of coverage.

Cos they are much in supply of all kinds of brains and deviants.
Mind you, the US is a very big market and when you have so much freedom as obtainable in America, you may be tempted to do all things including drugs.

Because the U.S. has a large population with serious disposable income. China and India have larger populations, but disposable income is low. Switzerland has higher incomes, but population is small.
