So... your argument is that because 13 years of alcohol prohibition was sufficient to cause the creation of an organized drug network that lasted 50 years after it's repeal... we shouldn't end prohibition of other drugs?
Yes, the cartels are established and entrenched and will be difficult to remove. However, ending prohibition would at least stop funneling large amounts of money to them now. We could then start the generations long process of rooting out and destroying these organizations created by our failed drug policy.
