Obviously they do because WE here in the U.S. are the number one consumer of it.
Prohibition didn't work with alcohol (which kills more people every day than every "illegal" drug known to man combined), and it doesn't work with drugs.
UNDENIABLE FACT: People are going to do what they want to do no matter what any govt. tries to force them to do. Legalize it? They will then do it legally. Keep it illegal? You make the drug cartels rich.
Either way, millions of Americans WILL smoke a joint and WILL snort a line.
It's fun to do drugs and party on a Friday or Saturday night no matter how many bullshit propaganda commercials the govt. tries to brainwash people with. And the numbers show it.

Yep. And we don't really need Mexico for weed. Cali is the weed supplier to half the US. Canada grows plenty themselves. But illegals & Mexico in general will continue to be
blamed for the "drug problem", nevermind the facts you just stated and the reality that WE are demanding the stuff. The "drug problem" would probably not be such a problem if they stopped labeling it "a problem" and let adults do as they please with their own bodies.
Conservatives especially should be all over this. They're always hollering for less regulation and more capitalism and free market and all that.... well then repeal prohibition (that doesn't work), put the "drug war" to bed once and for all, legalize for adults, and let's move forward instead of backward.
