Billions of dollars were going to flow into the coffers of the cartels either way; the people want drugs, the cartels are willing to use violence in order to organize who gets to distribute and at what prices they sell. There's no such thing as a peaceful hard-drug manufacturing operation.
This is the kind of thing that only shows how casual and naive is your understanding of this.
The current drug cartel situation is an issue of an unprecedented scale, entire towns work solely on manufacturing and shipping drugs to other countries.
This is not a "oh yeah lol, we should smoke weed and be happy, government is bad", this is an actual war with hundreds of thousands of people, a myriad of different small factions, who also want to kill each other, with modern technology, weapons, who are also involved in all kinds of crime, all around the world.
