Ever see a liquor store owner kill two cops and bury them in the desert? End the war on drugs and you will eliminate most of the peripheral danger associated with the drug trade. Simple solution, and one that will be accepted sooner or later – why wait for more good people to get killed? It’s not like the conflict itself has had any serious impact on drug use anyway, despite untold billions spent and tens of thousands of lives lost (and millions destroyed).

On Mexico, it’s a pretty decent place to visit if you’re not buying or selling drugs, or trying to stop someone else from doing the same.
