Actually, if you listened to “These Days” show, it spoke hypothetically about the drug cartel and gave different scenarios about how legalizing marijuana will have little effect on them. I think there is even a break down of how much money they make on various drugs.
Besides, there was a recent article about how real estate fraud was far more lucrative than drugs for those gangs that were indicted.
