Wages depend on where you're located in Mexico, I work in the North of Mexico and make 225 USD a week on a part time job from home while I finish university, friends that are already professionals make between 300 - 460 USD a week working, it also depends on your career or job you apply for obviously, being a teacher in mexico has one of the lamest wages, you would have to work at least 2 jobs as a teacher to make a good earning.

[@eightykakes15]

Yep. You actually can win a war on drugs… doing as you stated. More opportunities, less need to go into illegal activities and more education leads to more opportunities, and it feeds itself. And even with education/mental health comes knowing risks, what drugs do you, therapy so people aren’t trying to self medicate, compassion for the less fortunate, and even ways of making drugs less harmful for all use. There will never be Utopia, but it’ll at least bend the curve toward sanity.

Can you imagine if drugs were legalized. Boom, watch these cartel's power and influence EVAPORATE over-night. Imagine the type of reform Mexico's government could instate without the influence of drug money. If drugs were regulated, taxed, and monitored for consistency there would be less OD deaths and the criminal element would lose 90% of their power. And with the money Mexico makes from taxation, they could fund public works (like better schools). The war on drugs is pure madness. And nothing will change until our policies do. Remind me, What's the definition for insanity?
