I'm not going to disagree with anything you've said here. One hand washes the other. However, about 1/5th of Mexico's jobs relate to drug trafficking. Non narcotic, effective pain killers are making major headway here in the U.S. I was given one after I injured my neck this last year. I didn't hurt, and there was a sedative effect, so I slept well. It was pretty great really, and I have been given Hydrocodone before and it basically had the exact same effect on me.They've made some headway in the right direct, albeit just a bit, with ridding their law enforcement of cartel influence. It also has helped that we're slowly legalizing marijuana. The demand for cocaine has been trending down for years too, but the fentanyl and heroin demand started trending up. That's got a lot to do with the propensity we had for prescribing oxycontin for years, again paved by members of Congress.
