Pupilos del León de la Sierra cambiaron el rumbo del hampa en México para siempre: Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, Rafael Caro Quintero y Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo, quienes no solo diversificaron las actividades criminales, sino que en la segunda generación del narco también dieron forma a uno de los primeros cárteles mexicanos, el de Guadalajara.

A la par del Cártel de Guadalajara, en el noreste, Juan García Ábrego se convirtió en la cabeza de la red de contrabandistas que le heredó su tío Juan Nepomuceno Guerra, que luego sería conocida como el Cártel del Golfo.
