The drug trade in South Texas will never go legal, its not in the cartels best interests. The cartel are ruthless. They send truck loads of drugs north every day. They will pack a car with a couple of pounds then send it out followed by several truckloads. They turn the car over to the law thru their informants and the LEOs are waiting for that poor clown to roll by and they bust him. While they're all standing around bragging about catching this huge load in a car. 18wheelers packed full roll right on by. I've know people on both sides of this and it will never be resolved by changing laws. Most people grossly underestimate the power of the cartels.
