Honestly, Mexico should legalise drugs and setup a legal way to get access to safe drugs and drug rehabilitation programs. If the drug cartels see Mexico as a bigger financial market than the US, illegal exports to the US could nosedive. The cost of illegal exports could be cut down to zero overnight as they could distribute legally in their own country. Surely that'll mean something.
I wonder if the drug cartels would rather go to literal war with the USA or have a legal market and keep out of the USA's hair. They could even enforce a "do not export to the US or we kill you" policy between themselves, because that would be putting their financial investments at risk.
Mexico sells drugs to the US. I don’t think it matters much whether drugs are legalized in Mexico.
If you go to Mexico you won’t see people strung out on drugs running in the middle of traffic like you do in Los Angeles, and using their public transportation I didn’t see people going psycho and screaming at everyone.
