Regardless of your feelings about legalization or not the notion that the violence would cease if pot was legalized is laughable. The cartel members are criminals that have become accustomed to living large, I seriously doubt that they will go home and apply for a job at Pemex when pot is legalized. The violence will continue, it's just a matter of what target they will be aiming at......dt

If Pot is legalized (which I thihk it is headed that way) the cartels will just ramp up their Meth,Coke and Heroin operations. And even if it is legalized their will always be a demand for it, 2 reasons
1. It will be legalized on state levels first and there will be many states that resist so a large market will remain in the states that don't legalize it. After enough states legalize it then the fed "may" consider following along with the majority.
2. Holland is a good example of a country where it is legal and everybody can grow there own but a huge industry exists for "coffee house" type pot bars where people that don't want to bother with producing their own go to get their weed, not to mention the seed banks, clone businesses etc...
The cartel would still have some business but it would secondary to the drugs that would remain illegal which in turn creates much higher profit margins.
Just my opinion.
