    Mexican cartels moved into industry, agriculture, and human trafficking. Avocados, limes, and construction, for example.

    You planning on legalizing those next? You can’t legislate violent thugs away, you could legalize their entire enterprise and they’ll still have a place because the state ceded the monopoly of violence to them.

      Yes, they have diversified. However, they initially moved into legal business to invest and launder the money from their primary source of income, drugs. So let´s start weakening them by taking that away.

        Not sure how legalizing it would “take it away”, though? I mean, if it was legalized it would still need to be produced by someone, right? And these people have the experience, the infrastructure, etc…

          Hahahaha it’s cute how you forgot about capitalism. That’s when the white people take over for the real profit.
