If you legalize the drugs in the US that will just make the drug cartels in the US stronger because it'll be easier for them to make their sales and the violence between the drug cartels will just continue to escalate.

One of the main tenants of legalized drugs laws would be that a legal product produced by legitimate companies would have a drastically cheaper product that anything that would make sense to make or import illegally. It would be the same as tobacco or alcohol.
It's not like you see increased gang wars now over the sale of illegal booze compared to the prohibition era.
Just for the record I am pretty much solidly against the legalization of any (more) drugs, but your argument is not based on any historical evidence that i am aware of.
