Cannabis Legalization Taking Major Bite Out Of Drug Cartels

With more and more states legalizing cannabis each year, it sure seems to be taking a major bite out of drug cartels and other criminal elements that once had such a massive grip on the illicit cannabis trade.  A recent study found that seizures of weed at the US-Mexico border have plummeted by a whopping 78% from FY 2013 through FY 2018, showing that legalization is far more effective than any border wall could ever be in stemming the flow of drug smuggling across the border.  (By the way, they build tunnels under the walls/fences that already exist).

Now if only all 50 states would do the same and legalize cannabis yesterday, along with the federal government as well.
