The traffickers and criminal organizations in Mexico are distinct. The cartels responsible for trafficking today only use marijuana to enhance their people smuggling bottom line. The big marijuana industry from Mexico and Colombia were greatly diminished years ago. There is still a thriving local illegal marijuana market in Mexico and Colombia as well today, the ounce costs around $20-$50 depending where you are, there are some good wild strains too that fetch high-dollar in the states among connoisseurs, that market is not cartel controlled. Mexico's politics will be better determined based on what happens in the United States and Canada in coming months. Marijuana was partially legalized in Mexico in 2016, it is quite likely that Canada and Mexico will collaborate closely on this.
