The cartels have assassinated a LOT of people. And yes, it doesn’t make any sense to assassinate an Attorney General in order to get law enforcement to back off enforcing anti marijuana laws. And it would not convince a single person to start using marijuana if they already don’t do so.

Is there really any difference in Brown alive or Brown dead? He’s a totaly blank space in reality.

Does this make any sense? Besides committing murder, this wouldn’t exactly bring people to legalize pot.

Relegalizing pot is the LAST thing the cartels want - it would do to them what the end of Prohibition did to rumrunners.

yes, it doesn’t make any sense to assassinate an Attorney General in order to get law enforcement to back off enforcing anti marijuana laws.

Sure, it does - the hope is that his successor would exercise his discretion to place his enforcement priorities elsewhere.

And it would not convince a single person to start using marijuana if they already don’t do so.

Nor, I'm sure, was that the intent.
