For sure your four border states are not going to vote weed legal, because of the horrific power it'd give the Mexican cartels to move right into the USA. But all power to DC, Colorado, etc...
Can I question that? It seems to me that if one of those states legalized pot, the primary loser would be the Mexican cartels. The illegal status of MJ is essential for their survival. If I were a drug lord I would donate millions to any candidate that will fight to keep MJ illegal. It would be a disaster if people could grow their own.
Exactly. Any drug legalization in the United States will wipe out the drug cartels in Mexico. Legalization means lower prices, and the cartels will see their profitability down by 99%. That said, Cocaine is a much larger revenue earner for the cartels when compared to Marijuana. And no one is ever going to legalize cocaine.
