The cartels would still exist; they'd continue to make money, selling untaxed drugs, & via kidnappings and extorsions, & the numerous other ways that can be found to make money if you are willing to break the law and do bad things.
The solution to cartels is a strong and effective state. Think Singapore, or what Bukele is doing in El Salvador now, or NYC vs the mob.

If you do the research, you'll find that drug prohibition has been based on the oppression of minorities and "undesirables", and that only in that regard has it been an overwhelming success.
