How to beat the "Drug Cartels"

https://news.vice.com/article/legal-pot-in-the-us-is-crippling-mexican-ca rtels

Marijuana has accounted for nearly half of all total drug arrests in the
US for the past 20 years, according to the FBI¹s crime statistics. And according to the Department of Justice (DOJ), a large portion of the US illegal drug market is controlled directly by Mexican cartels. The DOJ¹s National Drug Intelligence Center, which has since been shut down, found
in 2011 that the top cartels controlled the majority of drug trade in marijuana, heroin, and methamphetamine in over 1,000 US cities.

Now, those cartels and their farmers complain that marijuana
legalization is hurting their business. And some reports could suggest
that the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) is more interested in helping to protect the Mexican cartels¹ hold on the pot trade than in letting it dissipate.

Kentucky wants to grow hemp so badly, it¹s suing the federal government.
