... and wants the US to do the same. i could go for 'many' or even 'most', but not 'all'.

Mexico’s president released a new plan last week that called for radical reform to the nation’s drug laws and negotiating with the United States to take similar steps.
I'd be good with that. Stop wasting tax money on the "war on drugs". Also stop wasting money treating people that are users. Let the herd thin itself out and the "drug problem" will be pretty self-limiting.

decriminalizing wouldn't do squat to eliminate the cartels. It would fuel them and make them stronger. It would be easier for them to sell since it wouldn't be a crime to possess drugs. Decriminalization is not legalization. legalization means a legal market would open up where corporations would manufacture the drugs. THAT would hurt the cartels, but what would stop them from becoming the corporation? As long as there is a market for drugs, decriminalization would make the market bigger, the cartels will still exist.

We need full legalization. However, decriminalization is a better first step than continuing status quo. Things unfortunately have to be done the slowest way possible to minimize the "uproars" from the many delusional people who still think we need to continue the blatantly failed war-on-drugs.
People are generally going to do drugs regardless of legality. This has been proven for DECADES now. Cartels aren't just shoving drugs down the public's throats - they're responding to demand with their supply.
They used to sell opium and cocaine over the counter.
Now I can't even get my cold medicine without being carded.
Let's just embrace the degeneracy. Elect Yang, get our 1K/month and spend it on legal meth and prostitutes. Why move in such small increments, open the floodgates then maybe just pre-emptively surrender to China.

Wouldn’t legitimate drug makers quickly compete the cartel out of business?
