consider a truce, with the gangs of the US

See gangs make their own truces all the time, what if our government proposed a truce that entials "We will go foreward with marijuana legalazation, and consider a reduction of the criminal level of cocaine, and bear in mind I said REDUCE not eliminate the criminal level, in exchange all drug gangs must agree to stop all random violence against citizens, no muggings, robberies, or just random murders, they would then have a staple for building their economy" I know it is not perfect, and it would take a lot of work, but just think of what that could bring to the table.
