Not an expert, but knowing what I do about the drug war and our involvement in it:

A lot of the domestic pressure within Colombia, MX etc. comes FROM international partners, like the US - Colombia gets a ton [~500M USD] of defense and security related funding for it [1], and we send military partner forces there to train their military and security forces.

All of that would need to be unwound as matter of course, regardless of whether or not the plan makes sense.
