520    U.S. demand for illicit drugs creates markets for Mexican 
       drug trafficking organizations (DTOs) and helps foster 
       violence in Mexico. This paper examines how marijuana 
       legalization in California might influence DTO revenues 
       and the violence in Mexico. Key findings include: 1) 
       Mexican DTOs' gross revenues from illegally exporting 
       marijuana to wholesalers in the United States is likely 
       less than $2 billion; 2) The claim that 60 percent of 
       Mexican DTO gross drug export revenues come from marijuana
       should not be taken seriously; 3) If legalization only 
       affects revenues from supplying marijuana to California, 
       DTO drug export revenue losses would be very small, 
       perhaps 2-4 percent; 4) The only way legalizing marijuana 
       in California would significantly influence DTO revenues 
       and the related violence is if California-produced 
       marijuana is smuggled to other states at prices that 
       outcompete current Mexican supplies. The extent of such 
       smuggling will depend on a number of factors, including 
       the response of the U.S. federal government. 5) If 
       marijuana is smuggled from California to other states, it 
       could undercut sales of Mexican marijuana in much of the 
       U.S., cutting DTOs' marijuana export revenues by more than
       65 percent and probably by 85 percent or more. In this 
       scenario, the DTOs would lose approximately 20% of their 
       total drug export revenues.
