Pot isn't even where they get their shitloads of money from, since there's still a homegrown market in the united states. It's mostly from things like coke.

Yeah, basically the Small Guys get strongarmed out of the business by the Big Guys, who have the Big Guns. Then the old Big Guys get pushed out by the New Big Guys because the New Big Guys are willing to kill, rape, and torture and have no qualms or reservations with just murdering any opposition they can get their hands on.

Fast forward to today and well

It's only legal on state farms, no? But they don't supply nearly enough, so coffeeshops supplement it by buying illegal drugs as well. Once they're in the coffeeshops, they're legal anyway. At least, that's what I heard.

Yeah and the really horrific part about it is that it's just so .. commonplace, now, because the zetas have learned that being sadistic sociopathic fucks and leaving butchered, tortured, mutilated bodies everywhere (especially when it's obvious how horrific and painful you died Hostel-style, like being stuffed in a barrel and have acid poured in) serves their interests quite well because they want to intimidate everyone and make SURE you know what's up if you ever get in their way, see something you aren't supposed to see, or deal with anyone they dislike, or if you're related to anyone who does anything they dislike. Family members and children of high ranking police, for instance.

Countless tens of thousands of people just killed everywhere by the cartels and their enforcers. Once totally peaceful cities now looking all Mad Max style. I never heard about this in the news at all, it was just when two people who worked for me asked if they could get their family members work somehow, because they're fleeing. They have to get into the united states or they're just going to die sometime soon. Just for nothing, just for being in the wrong place in one of the hellhole sections of Mexico.

I only heard about stuff like this from threads on Something Awful and the occasional story on Al Jazeera. I get the feeling American news only focusses on the border and it only comes up when border agents get shot or in the form of "Damn IMMIGRANTS". But frankly, calling them immigrants is just wrong. They're refugees.

Other than that, the occasional paper will write a story when things get exceptionally bad. Like the 30.000 deaths in x years story. That popped up in several places. But most of the time, it's stories about how desperate the situation is and a lot of lamenting about how horrible the drug trafficking world is. The solution that's staring them in the face: legalise drugs, crack down on the guns being smuggled across the American border, crack down on the American banks that launder the cartels' money.

All I really want to know: is this going to fuck with my vacation in Puerto Vallarta?

That depends, on a scale of 1 to 10, how tolerant are you of roving death squads and mutilated corpses?

It is generally accepted that the US allows the cartels to exist to guarantee the cheap labor needed to sustain "growth" in the economy.
