I agree we all (US, Canada included) have some responsibility for the drug crimes and the system that creates the conditions for it to persist and grow (such as lack of gun control, lack of education and programs to prevent drug use, etc). For me, visiting mexico often, it feels quite safe and does not feel like the same mexico I hear about from time to time in our news. You have to be smart where you go, and avoid putting yourself in certain situations, but that is no different than what I see in the US.
