Why can't you implement them now? The users are rarely locked up, the sellers are, and rightfully so.
And the Cartels will do just fine. They'll sell more to other countries and still run the criminal networks in North America and move on to other illegal activities and will still be as dangerous or they'll sell drugs cheaper than the government can.
The drug cartels aren't going anywhere.
