I was chilling with a few Mexican friends this weekend for an extended period of time and we were discussing Mexico’s growing degeneration into thralls of mafia violence.

We pondered Mexico’s future and what was next for Mexico as it continues presenting great diplomatic challenges for US President Obama; this is why:

1) Mexico possesses a growing and tremendous amount of regional power/s emanating from the Mexican state quickly becoming the only route of passage for drugs originating in South America, entering into the United States of America. Such a position does not come without problems for Mexico;

2) Mexico’s growing drug mafia families control over 50% of its state territories with personal mafia owned armies rivaling 50% of the power of foot soldiers of Mexico’s regular army;

3) Increasing violence and civil war become increasing realities in Mexico as control between the Mexican State and Mexican mafia families constantly continue warring over territory and power;

3) Life comes cheap with hitmen working for as low as $50- a hit;

4) Mexico is quickly developing a more complicated and vast array of underground tunnels for drug trafficking. My one friend whereby he merely walked underground with buddies of his from Mexico to a farm in Texas easily in this manner;

With Obama pressuring the Mexcian government for a stricter drug policy, mafia controlled regions of Mexico will surely continue to war with the Mexican government trying to crack down on them.

This will surely throw the entire country into a humanitarian disaster if and when a Mexican civil war continues to manifest itself as a reality in the region. Humanitarian disaster will surely follow although the crisis in North Korea overshadows it on the nightly news.

What can help this situation (?)

A drug legalization policy in America whereby illegal drugs can be sold and taxed. Using drugs is a personal decision ought not be regulated by the Federal Government.

In this manner a power sharing policy between all parties involved in the drug trafficking business can be involved in the profits deriving therefrom in some capacity.

While it is not a perfect idea, as the prohibition period in America manifests “the war on drugs” will never work.
