Wow, the state deems drugs to be illegal, but anarcho-capitalism is to blame somehow.
A lot of people here are so steadfast to the bigger state idea that they see it everywhere as a solution even when it's the cause.

While cartels do lots of horrible things, if you had to operate with the constant threat of having all your assets seized and receiving a life in prison, would you operate as peacefully as possible or would you act to instill fear in those that wronged you and/or threaten your way of life. If the products that the cartels distribute were legal, most cartels likely would either be those western corporate entities or wouldn't exist.
