Agreed, not worth arguing about.

Some property.

There is indeed a law in Mexico that prohibits foreign nationals from
owning property within 100km of any border or within 50km of a coastline.

My brother now "owns" a condo in Play del Carmen and had to work within
this law by having a bank actually own the property in trust for him.

In addition, because of the high price of illegal drugs, users
frequently sell drugs to their friends and acquaintances to support
their habit. This tends to increase drug use. I don't know anyone
who sells alcohol other than licensed dealers.

I don't think that legalizing drugs would have too much effect on use
at all. Most drug users start when they're young and most HS or
College kids can get drugs if they want them and they know that have
very little chance of being arrested. In fact the illegality of drugs
can be attractive to rebellious youth.

The don't spout nonsense.

"synthetic opiod" is not equivalent to "synthetic heroin".
