If you’re going to do it, go all the way and clean out the cartels.

A boy can dream....
Start in DC!
Repealing prohibition, and taking away the AMA's nazi goon squads would be a start. No one smuggles when they can do it openly and legally.

Ending prohibition IS economic warfare against the cartels!
