I have two scenarios today regarding US drug policy.
1) If marijuana and some other drugs were decriminalized--but NOT legalized--would that have any effects on the economic situation in Mexico or affect Mexican immigration to the U.S.?
2) If marijuana and some other drugs were LEGALIZED, in addition to some drugs being decriminalized, how would that affect the stability of Mexico and immigration to the U.S.?
Also, what about other Latin American countries--would the cartels simply disappear or instead shift to other substances?
