Cancún and the Riviera Maya, Mexico’s top tourism spots, are fighting a wave of violent crime. The problem is demand for drugs by tourists.

TULUM, Mexico—Hours before she was gunned down, Anjali Ryot posted an idyllic video of herself sitting on a hammock by the Caribbean Sea in one of Mexico’s hippest resort towns. “Vibing with the ocean,” she wrote in her Instagram account.

That night, Ms. Ryot, a California-based travel blogger with some 50,000 Instagram followers, was celebrating her 30th birthday with her husband at La Malquerida, a popular restaurant, when two members of a local drug gang spotted a rival ducking inside. They started shooting. Three tourists were wounded. Ms. Ryot and a German tourist were killed.

Typical news only reporting the bad and make it sound worse, me and family have spent a good part of our life traveling by car through different states visiting beaches, museums and other tourist destinations in Mexico and never had any issues. In fact we're now Mexican citizens!

What say you Ted Cruz? cancuncruz

So the whole problem can be attributed to the users. No one should complain about the corrupt supply chain this unslakable thirst for drugs creates. The problem is us.

É um problema.

You know what would be really Cool if we had a speed train built by Tesla that went from Argentina all the way into North America around places here and there then up in through Canada all around here and there and the into Alaska then into Russai,Middle East, Asai, Europe.👌🌎🕊

how is that a problem. drugs and prostitution are be pillars of tourist resorts. the problem are the cops, who want their share and often upset the supply chain.

Maybe the Hotels should have pot shops of edibles that make you laugh and dance. Restaraunts with edible deserts stop the Cartel gangs from selling hard drugs educate and better them as Human beings to grow cancer curing cannabis and farm amazing organic foods.

My wife and I would vacation in the Riviera Maya for many years. Since Mexico has become a narco state we don’t go anywhere near the country.

I call BS

So,this is a tricky double-edged sword.

Come to Perú Machupicchu!!!!!!!

Maybe it's time for new thinking about the war on drugs.
