Prior to the 1960's when the war on drugs went into overdrive, there was a flourishing opium business in Mexico. Their farmers grew it and sold it to US pharmaceutical companies. The entire thing was run by businessmen and professionals and was a normal business. When the war on drugs came around, they started arresting people and burning farms and the legit people left the business so it go taken over by cartels.

Make it legal and it should curb a lot of the violence and craziness surrounding it.
