Would you make a sacrifice to make the country better?

Specifically, would you give up pot and/or cocaine to stop funding drug cartels, which directly and indirectly are corrupting our system and bringing violence? Or is it too much of a sacrifice? I think back to WWII when there was sugar rationing, nylons were scarce, but now we want to just keep on self indulging and wonder why someone else doesn't make it better. Would you give up being high for any length of time if it helped stabilize countries enough to where people wouldn't be illegally immigrating here? Or is it asking way too much?
