What's it going to take for Mexico to get clean?

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 59 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

The United States to produce its drugs domestically without penalty to those addicted.

Haven’t the cartels already diversified into shit like avocados?

Yeah, that is to feed another US addiction, avocado toast.

Seriously though, legalizing drugs in the US would make a huge impact on reducung Mexican gang violence as things like produce are way less profitable than drug running.

And the US not exporting their guns to mexico anymore.
