Unacceptable in Tenochtitlan to kick the habit.

#3 Rehab facilities stateside have been a focal point for drug distribution. Typically, one condition for people who have been involved in crimes committed while drugged-up to receive relatively light sentences is for them to quit drugs, typically at a rehab center. Problem is rehab centers are a great place to peddle drugs through corrupt staff members who will both sell drugs to patients and certify that someone who has gone through the program is clean. So this is possibly a turf war.

#4 I'm indifferent to whether narcotic drugs are legal or illegal. If legal, they should be legal all the way. If illegal, ditto, meaning that an arrest for possession should lead to an expedited trial and appeals process that ends up either in execution or acquittal within low single digit years. What Mexico has is the worst of both worlds.
