It won't fix anything overnight but illegal narcotics is unique in the respect that it's probably one of the highest profit margin products in the world. Name me something else that can continually be produced, that only costs $1000 to buy in one place, that you can sell for $30,000 merely by moving it somewhere, with the only value add after the $1000 being "got it past a few prohibitive layers". Not too many products like that. I don't even think the DeBeers family gets to that level. The level of profit ensures that there will be lots of bad people wanting to feed at the trough along the way. Even if the US legalized most of this shit they would still sell plenty of it to other countries too dumb to do so, or perhaps move into other markets, like selling dirt farmers kidneys to chinese nationals or something like that... but even that would probably still have a worse profit margin than something like Heroin.

The progeny of US politicians and politicians come close to the cartels. Hunter Biden made $1.5B that we know of from China and millions more from Ukraine just sitting on the BoD of corrupt companies and/or corrupt countries. No qualifications or experience needed. Same with Pelosi's son and Kerry's stepson. Those are only the ones we know about. The only difference between the US politicians and the cartels is that the cartel money usually goes to only one person.
