The Governement also profits from the war on drugs. They do it through seizure laws.
I'm all for legalizing it. We tried Prohibition once, people still drank alcohol and people like Al Capone got rich off it. It's no different now, people still get high, and drug lords are making tons of money off it.
When given the choice between big business and big government, choose big business. Big business never threw millions of people into gas chambers, but big government did.
