Yes, they have diversified. However, they initially moved into legal business to invest and launder the money from their primary source of income, drugs. So let´s start weakening them by taking that away.

Not sure how legalizing it would "take it away", though? I mean, if it was legalized it would still need to be produced by someone, right? And these people have the experience, the infrastructure, etc...
