I agree that cutting off the funding to the cartels by way of drugs will have a good effect, but bear in mind that there are multiple markets that the cartels sell drugs to, not just the United States - they will sell to Australia and Europe as well. Everyone will have to have some kind of legalization, and we know that's not happening any time soon. In addition, they'll probably expand into other forms of nefarious income generation, such as running protection rackets and human trafficking. That said, legalization needs to happen.
