“PRD Deputy and Federal District Legislative Assembly President Víctor Hugo Círigo said organized crime is making $13 billion a year off the drug trade. More than half of that — $8 billion — is derived from the marijuana business, he said.”
Other estimates put the number at over 14 billion a year. That's an incredible amount of money these guys are making. How can we stop something so profitable?
Unless you legalize pot, you won’t be able to stop something that profitable. Or at least more than half the profits according to that article.
I don’t see these guys smuggling tobacco into the states.
