Nuts. The problem is that they can’t clean up their own mess, the cartels will just use their own civilians as hostages and punish them for retaliation against the cartel. It’s gonna have to be an outside entity to take them out, one who has no emotional ties to their civilians.

Take away the cartels' raison d'etre, and you get rid of this shit.

This.

Will never happen. It's one of the biggest source of land where you can grow very specific drugs. There will always be groups fighting over these .

We took away marijuana and it got worse. Now they get money from legal avenues such as marijuana farms in America, avocados, etc. At the end of the day, if you're capable of coercing the enforcement mechanisms, you've won. Who is going to stop them if they are willing to torture and murder a judge's family? What about a politician's family?

These people need to be exterminated just like ISIS because they are just as brutal, if not more so.

You got it. Only difference is that our politicians understand that and bend over to these cartels. You think a cartel would stop doing their doing because the American gov says so? lol... Nobody is untouchable on this planet. Look @ JFK or Kiki Camarena (Our Gov was involved).

Also weed is barely worth mentioning. They make much $ with cocaine and drugs of that sort (Superlabs producing meth, pills...)

Because marijuana is a piecemeal combination of legal and illegal, so there's still a trafficking incentive, even with the legal farms. Legalize all this shit at a federal level (not just marijuana - all of it), and the incentive for cartels to kill judges, cops, mayors, etc all but disappears. They're obviously going to find a way to continue making money, but if thousands aren't being slaughtered in the process, then that's a win. Plus, we're not spending billions on the interdiction, enforcement, prosecution, and incarceration of drug offenders. There's a lot of intersecting societal issues that get positively impacted by not throwing hundreds of thousands of people in jail for drug offenses. Gang violence, breakup of nuclear families in the inner city, etc. Put a fraction of the money we spend on enforcement into drug rehabilitation and treatment programs, and it gets even better.

Pretty much this. Many people been preaching this but in vain.
