long read, but compelling and seemingly accurate. Basically saying that Cartels aren't really cartels at all, just pawns in the game of big government, big money, and journalism to regulate and price fix narcotics. who saw that one coming?!?!

I never would've imagined an article like that coming from a website called "narcosphere"...

2. Mexico should improve their standard of living so the drug trade would be less tolerated.

Good luck.

Seriously though isn't that a great conspiracy theory?
