Mexico definitely needs to. It'll help undermine the cartels. But given the level of political corruption they struggle with, that's another reason I think it's unlikely to happen.
The cartels still have the heavy stuff if it ever passes, but just as you said, someone might be greased out into not accepting it, or outright wacked in a fucked up way.
i also wonder if the carels will take steps to "legitimize" their already-existing production capabilities should cannabis be legalized in mexico. whether they do or not, they'd get some amount of income cut from legalization.
Unfortunately, The Mexican cartels have so much power and the whole medium in their hands that wouldn't affect them at all given that they already have other forms (Cocaine, Weapons,etc) that practically doesn't affect them much at all.
It will take roughly twenty percent of their income, but that can all be shifted into opiates, cocaine, and meth.
They'd probably still be able to make money out of weed, they'll just make sure they get a monopoly on selling it to venders.
the cartels would probably go after any legal farms initially to either shut them down or quietly take over mob style
I see everyone is optimistic about this /s Whatever happens, happens. The aftermath is what matters, it will hurt the cartels and they will realize they aren't completely invincible
Might as well legalize cocaine too. A cartel couldn't possibly compete at that point with other private companies and entrepreneurs.
The cartels would become private companies if cocaine becomes legalized.
The idea would certainly cross their mind, although they'd need people with clean backgrounds at the head of these companies.
Not sure you're aware of how bad the cartels are in Mexico and how deeply they've corrupted the system in the northern half of the country. A CEO with dirty hands is exactly what they'd do.
Just legalize all fucking drugs, everywhere.
