6. But here is what will actually happen...
This will put major cash into the pockets of Mexican drug lords!

The demand for Meth will not decline. This will drive up the price. Mexican drug lords will fill in the gap by supplying as much as required at a dear price.

The ONLY solution to this problem is blanket legalization of all drugs.
