If we really want to end the war on drugs, we need to make drug trafficking punishable by death (a sentence which will be carried out within the month) at the 3rd charge and also send a bunch of people from the Special Operations community down to Mexico to start destroying the cartels. Burn their crops, destroy their compunds, kill their leaders and use intimidation tactics like they do. That way they will either openly attack us, leading to them getting their collective heads stoved in by the steel toed boot of the mighty US military, or it will become incredibly difficult for them to make any money at all. If that happens, the cartel will regress back to small time operations
