Legalizing Marijuana Won’t Kill the Mexican Drug Cartels - NYTimes.com

Legalizing Marijuana Won’t Kill the Mexican Drug Cartels - NYTimes.com:

 "FOR a growing number of American policy makers, politicians and activists, the best answer to the spiraling violence in Mexico is to legalize the marijuana that, they argue, fuels the country’s vicious cartels and smugglers. After all, according to official estimates, marijuana constitutes 60 percent of cartels’ drug profits. Legalization would move that trade into the open market, driving down the price and undermining the cartels’ power and influence."
