Not only that, but the drug money funds the pain and suffering.
We really need to end the drug war, not just for ourselves so we can get drugs legally, but also for the poor schmucks living in hell under the cartels.
I'm hoping that legalizing the drugs would solve that, as it would (hopfully) short money to the cartels. Something tells me they'd still use it as a wealth extractor here, though.
I want to see the long term impact of the weed shops against the illegal stuff. I imagine many of them would be able to outmaneuver them legally (as it's easier to do stuff), but I can also see the cartels doing it the legal way and extracting the wealth.

I remember back when we were first legalizing weed in some states, there were weed shops getting threats from drug dealers.
