Mexico cartels traffic mostly coke and meth.

Ummm...

The U.S. Office of National Drug Control Policy says that more than 60 percent of the profits reaped by Mexican drug lords are derived from the exportation and sale of cannabis to the American market.

Walters said the U.S. government is seeking additional resources to prosecute traffickers of marijuana, which now earns cartels about $8.5 billion or about 61 percent of their annual estimated income of $13.8 billion. Cocaine sales earn the cartels about $3.9 billion, and methamphetamine about $1 billion, he said.

Although it's not the case in terms of actual monetary value, when it comes to products imported from the US to the UK that's actually true... like the Apple TV ($99 and ?99), Windows, most PMP's... ETC. I wouldn't be surprised if the reverse is true in other economies as well. Companies have a tendency to gouge customers from other territories.
