Essay On Mexican Drug War
The Mexican Drug War can be solved with nonviolence.
A person who doesn’t live in Mexico sees drugs as many things such as medical supplies, overdoses, and doctors.

This solution may take a while, but could provide a result that will last longer than violence, which could save lives. It will bring criminals and the Mexican government together and will keep Mexico
