Honestly, that's the only realistic strategy if you want to take profits away from cartels, strike them where it really hurts, and more
Now of course they aren't just going to sit on their hands and wait to go completely bankrupt, they're going to shift to another illegal trade/activity... Human trafficking....

No
They are just legalizing cocaine just like the US legalized alcohol after the prohibition, so cartels can no longer extract billions of $ (yes billions) from cocaine trafficking

The cartels will host continue doing what they're doing, the government will be treated as a rival selling in the wrong area.

lol, good luck with that when the gov sells at a tenth of the current market price, and for a better product
As if bootleggers and US organized crime could do shit against the end of prohibition to save their business from bankruptcy...
What are cartels going to do? Send footsoldiers at every retail store to bomb the place? How about mail deliveries, they are going to burn every mailboxes?
