Are you sure white supremacists are the problem?

It is true that legalization makes the recording of rates easier. Still, rates don't seem to be that high in countries that take an extremely harsh approach, like Malaysia.

no. if you want to start putting junkies to death, we can discuss that alternative approach

Most of the money made by cartels is in human trafficking. Legalizing or decriminalizing all drugs would reduce the value of most substances, but it wouldn't really affect the biggest moneymaker for cartels.

human smuggling (coyotes) is certainly the cash cow right now but drugs
make a lot up money, and seizures are way up. in some cases 2x already in 6 months then all of last year

And drugs are repeat customers, and easily used to corrupt police etc.
About the only "good thing" is black kids slinging dope to make money off suburban white boys
if you want to look at it that way
some of the corner boys care for their whole family with the money made

EDIT: legal weed is still expensive -the money just goes to the dispensaries and taxes instead of cartels

Never heard of that. Will you cite a source?

I'm not sure if I'm able to post links yet, since I tried a few posts ago without being allowed to. What I've been able to find suggests that human trafficking is the second most profitable market for cartels and other criminals. The sources seem to state that drugs the most profitable after all, but the gap doesn't seem very large.

I guess that just means that less drug trade would result in more human trafficking to make up the difference then.

I would think drugs are number one and human trafficking is irrelevant.

Whether or not cartels stay involved in drugs is only partially dependent on legality. Unless regulations strictly control the source of legal drugs, then a cartel could easily continue to sell drugs legally given their resources.

Think of it like how the mafia was still involved in alcohol trade after the end of Prohibition. It was legal and less profitable, but still profitable enough at first to stay involved.
