They think some drug lords are going to start paying taxes instead of just funding communities to be their eyes and ears?
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?
