Strangely enough, it seems that there are those who feel the answer is not to fight the cartels, or destroy the drugs, rather to 'educate' those who would use the drugs.

A very bad idea enabling vigilante groups. And as has been pointed-out, these groups are all too often found to be criminal themselves.

Hot air rhetoric to be sure: but if the money spent on the war on drugs had been spent on education and rehabilitation north of the border. The demand for the product that fuels this illicit economy wouldn't be as prevalent south of the border.
