>What is "oro o plomo" ???

The choice of the gold or the coffin ( believe it is literally the lead shroud ) i.e. take the bribes or the consequences.

>>I'm concerned about lawmakers who push for decriminalization or legalization. How many will start getting "oro o plomo" offers?

>>>>>From what I've read they are addressing things like DUI as part of the implementation. As far as the tax revenue is concerned, those two states have already seen that it works just from taxing the medical marijuana sales. I think if a person wanted to make some serious $ this will be the next USA gold rush - happened in 2 states it will happen in more and there are many more states that have set to bring the medical marijuana up this year. tik..tok..tik..tok.

>>>>>>>Another step in a rather long journey. Interesting that out of all the campaigning, debates, etc that the 'war on drugs' never seemed to come up this election....so the conclusion I come too is that neither side wanted to discuss it. I say it's high-time that the topic be brought to the forefront..so now perhaps with these two states doing this it will actually force the topic to be talked about. Personally I think the feds need to step out of the whole thing and just let each individual state deal with it the way they want. The days of the refer-madness-scare tactics are over I'd say.
