Unfortunately, the story says they are compensating for the loss by pushing more heroin, coke, and meth.
That'll lower retail prices and thus the amount of crime committed in order to pay those prices - another piece of good news.
Absolutely.
The reports of the Mexican Cartels and their trillion dollar industry are well documented.
If anyone believes legalization will harm and reduce the cost benefits to the cartels; then I have a bridge to sell them.
Mexicans will either undercut the price of legal (taxed) weed, or branch out into other more dangerous drugs.
Or both.
It’s alot harder to get people interested in the harder drugs than marijuana.
