We've already had the war on drugs. It went about as well as bringing peace to the Middle East has.
Besides, cartels are taking over avacado farms for the money, so stopping drugs wouldn't get rid of them. They've evolved and are into other things. Kinda like the mafia here in the US. When the illegal stuff hits it's limits, they move into the legal side to grow profits. (even if they get there illegally).
If we really want to force the issue and get it dealt with, we need to seal the border. Not from the folks coming in from Mexico, but a complete control over all the money heading back South. Put a 50% or more tax on every penny that crosses the border and Mexico will start to take things more serious.
Arm the avocado farmers and other legal businesses, and things get fixed a lot faster.
