I think two things.
1. The report is associated with the Cato institute, which supports the Democratic party.
2. The report is by David Bier, who works for the Niskanen institute, which is pro - immigration.
So I'm reluctant to take the report seriously, given it's written from a clearly non - neutral perspective.

t looks to me from the study, that narcotics are taking up the slack for lost cartel income from marijuana and they are smuggling it in from other areas than those with increased border surveillance. This would also correlate with the dramatic rise in opioid addiction over this same time period covered in the study.

cannabis is not the only drug trafficked across borders
The Cato Institute is a libertarian think tank founded by Charles G. Koch and funded by the Koch brothers. It is headquartered in Washington, D.C. The Institute states that it favors policies "that are consistent with the traditional American principles of limited government, individual liberty, and peace."Jan 26, 2018[quote]
