      The problem is, unless something is done about the cartels before hand, all that is going to do is legitimize them.

        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

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