Myth About Cartels

While I wholeheartedly agree that drugs should be legalized and controlled, I seriously doubt that the members of the drug cartels will suddenly be looking for legitimate employment, if it happens.

Why not? It's certainly possible considering they are heavily invested in real estate, tourism (including hotels, restaurants and bars right here in Zihuatanejo), mining, construction, banking, communications, and transportation. The Kennedy's became "legit" after Prohibition was repealed. And look at Las Vegas, a stellar example of what can happen when criminal enterprises go "legit".
