Legalization would bring in more government meddling, not less. Exactly as you said, the government doesn’t have that much power. Cartels currently have full control of production, distribution and profits. They do not want regulations, taxes and dealing with competition in uhh… less confrontational ways. That’s even if they’d be allowed into the market, which is unlikely.
lol there is no way Narcos want legalized drugs. Not that weed makes up any significant percentage of their business.
Why wouldn’t they want to sell a secondary product without any government meddling (not that the government has that much power lol)
