Are there Latin American movements to legalize the drug trade in their respective countries?

There's been various movements here in U.S. to legalize the drug trade, but what the source countries?

2. But would complete drug legalization, say in Mexico, cut the violence?

3. about 4 years ago the UN declared Mexico "Morally Bankrupt and Democratically Irretrievable", if it

wasn't drugs, the entrenched Evil there would find something equally despicable for profit or worse...

4. I don't think so.

I don't think the problem down there has so much to do with Mexico as it does with supplying the US. Our drug war has made the profits so lucrative that it causes the eruption of organized crime & violence both here and there. So even if it were legalized in Mexico, I don't see how that would effect the billions that are at stake exporting to the US, which is the root of the violence.
