A RAND Corporation study, Reducing Drug Trafficking Revenues and Violence in Mexico – Would Legalizing Marijuana in California Help? released today said, Legalizing marijuana in California will not dramatically reduce the drug revenues collected by Mexican drug trafficking organizations from sales to the United States.
A press release from RAND quoted Beau Kilmer, the study’s lead author and co-director of the RAND Drug Policy Research Center as saying: Legalizing marijuana in California would not appreciably influence the Mexican drug trafficking organizations and the related violence unless exports from California drive Mexican marijuana out of the market in other states.
