Cartels have diversified their income sources to the point that if their drug income fell to 0 overnight they would still survive. Human trafficking, farming, natural resource extraction, and extortion make up very large parts of modern cartels income.
We should still legalize/decriminalize drugs to hurt the cartels, but it won't ruin them like it would have say 20 years ago.
