The only way to get rid of the cartels is to bankrupt them by repealing prohibition on marijuana, which is the drug primarily used to finance the day to day operations of these cartels.

Luckily, cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamines are utterly unprofitable, and the cartels studiously avoid dabbling in such things, so your plan is FLAWLESS.

Legalize all those, too. Hell, sell the crap in 5 pound sacks at Safeway to anyone who is over 21. My only caveat is that “society” doesn’t pay a nickel to clean up after you. The only possible exception is to toss your corpse into a garbage truck.

In the ER due to a drug overdose? You pay cash or they toss you out into the street for said garbage collection.

I am sick and tired of paying to babysit idiots. If they want to poison themselves, fine. But they do it on their own dime.
