So, what's your solution?

Pull them over. Do the hard police work involved in tracking them to their source. Attack the source.
Do the hard work of reducing the demand and addiction in America.
Blowing them up solved nothing. If they are smugglers you just taught them not to smuggle that way. The smugglers just change routes and methods. But if the demand was significantly reduced the smuggling would reduced. Legislation is an option but requires the hard intensive work to reduce addiction and the underlying reasons for people self medicating and becoming addicted.
California's legalization of cannabis has significantly reduced the supply of foreign cannabis to the US, particularly from Mexico.
Mexican cannabis market declines: A study from the University of San Diego found a direct correlation between the percentage of the US population with access to legal cannabis and a decrease in the amount of cannabis seized at the US-Mexico border.
Seizure numbers fall: Seizures of illicit cannabis at US borders fell by over 80% between 2009 and 2020. This indicates a major disruption to the foreign supply chain as US consumers shifted toward legally produced domestic products.
"Legislation" should have been "Legalization"
Which I suppose would also require legislation.
