Ex-Mexican President Vincente Fox claims the solution to the current drug violence in Mexico is to legalize the manufacture, distribution, and sale of drugs that are illegal in countries all over the world.
He claims that removing the prohibition will remove the profit motive and funding for the cartels by dropping the prices.
Possessing personal amounts of many narcotics has been legal in Mexico for years.
Is he really that stupid?
Does he not understand that the cartels will not allow competition and that they will keep prices high by controlling the flow of product and raw materials?
Even if the drug market becomes unpalatable to them, they will increase operations in other areas, like smuggling drugs into the US and money out, arms trafficking, and terrorist control of government.
