From a fundamental philosophical perspective, we are all independent, self-determining, self-responsible moral agents. This applies as much to gang shooters as it does to me. They have no way of making me commit illegal/immoral acts if I choose not to, and the reverse is equally true. I'm not responsible for their decisions.
The legal environment regarding drug use within the USA and Mexico has created what is essentially an ecological niche, and these thugs have moved in to occupy it. Take away that niche and their opportunity to fill it is instantly removed. Morally, their decisions have nothing at all to do with any decision I make about what to consume.
The key word in your post is not "drugs", it is the word "illegal".
