The wall vs. legal marijuana: One is pointless, the other secures the border.
A new report shows how legalizing marijuana nationally would likely be much more effective at curbing drug smuggling than building a border wall.

The report uses recent government data to examine the effects that marijuana legalization has had on drug and human smuggling by Mexican cartels.
Overall, it appears that marijuana legalization has led to decreases in not only marijuana smuggling, but also smuggling of all drugs across the border.
The report suggests that the benefits of marijuana legalization might also serve as a model for how legalizing more immigration for workers might curb illegal border crossings.

They still will have to stop MJ being brought into NY or anywhere in the US by the drug cartel

So far it has not even been slowed by one iota



What are you talking about? The vast majority of the weed that comes into NY is and has been for years transported interstate from other parts of the US. The cartels know this and have pretty much bailed on Cannabis and upped their heroin game and of course kept with the cocaine they have always brought in. Cartels are unaffected by any Cannabis regulation, politics or market related factors.
