Legalize all drugs -> the cartel's money evaporates -> Mexico returns to being the home of donkey shows and tequila.

Much the same way the mob went away after prohibition ended?

First, remind me not to comment on voat while drunk. Second, your comment prompted me to do some research into what actually caused the decline in mob power and it was primarily due to concerted FBI effort and the RICO act. Though there are some additional reasons outlined in this old NYT article that's worth reading.

The cartel wouldn't just go away if Mexico legalizes drugs. They'd still kidnap and shit like that.
