What to do about the rising violence from Mexico?

Well, were illegal narcotics produced and sold legally in the United States, the production-to-consumption marginal cost of these drugs would fall significantly. The incentives for criminal control over the drug trade would also decline, reducing violent crime rates attached to drug wars. The problem? Consumption of previously proscribed drugs would also likely increase, along with drug-induced criminality and health and social harms. The ease with which the public accesses and dies early deaths due to fentanyl consumption means the legalization of drugs such as cocaine, MDMA, and heroin is unlikely.
