No. The only way to beat the drug cartels is to put them out of business. End this insane second prohibition and legalize recreational drugs subject to strict government regulation and make their manufacture and sale a government monopoly. Require people seeking a prescription for their drug of choice to attend a drug counseling program. We won’t save everyone, but we will save a lot and it is far less expensive than warehousing a significant percentage of the population at public expense. And drug related crime would drop drastically.

The cartels would be out of business in a few months.

What if we built a farm/warehouse/camp where drugs were accessible. All the addicts could live there away from society. We could buy the drugs wholesale directly from Columbia and cut out the cartels. We could also ship all the confiscated drugs there saving us money. Anyone that wanted out of the camp could do so by just giving up the drugs.
Hard to sell drugs in society if all your customers are in a camp isolated.

That has been done for years. It has resulted in an even larger portion of the population experiencing anxiety, depression and paranoia disorders, compulsively lying, arguing with fallacies, turning to the left, disrespecting their elders, projecting their evil deeds on others, starting trouble with neighbors, committing other crimes (e.g., thefts), demanding that the police be de-funded and starting riots.
