    Cartels have diversified their income sources to the point that if their drug income fell to 0 overnight they would still survive. Human trafficking, farming, natural resource extraction, and extortion make up very large parts of modern cartels income.

    We should still legalize it to hurt the cartels, but it won’t ruin them like it would have say 20 years ago.
