They should be granted amnesty in exchange for disarmament, among other things to drag them into legitimacy and abiding rule of law. It would have to be an undertaking comparable in scope to denazification post-WWII though.
Legalizing drugs doesn’t mean there are no regulations. The FDA would have to control the quality of the drugs, and I bet the cartels don’t exactly have quality control.
Cartels make an estimated $20-30 billion a year selling drugs to the U.S.
If the FDA regulates and we make our own, you just cut out all that money from them. Their influence goes down greatly. Also feeds the money back into our economy and the taxes on it can help us line our politicians pockets, oops I mean help fund healthcare
The problem is, unless something is done about the cartels before hand, all that is going to do is legitimize them.
When your entire industry is illegal in almost all of the world, it suddenly becoming legal tends to hurt the black market very badly.

Yeah, but the comment I’m replying to specifically said mexico should legalize, that wouldn’t change the us demand at all.
