Think this will fit here.
Why are drugs illegal? Because the govt. can't figure out a way to tax it. If they could, it wouldn't have been demonized and outlawed.
Face it, the only way they get revenue is through fines and seized assets.
As for winning the "War on Drugs". They can't win it because there would go the revenue. And we all understand revenue is something the govt. has to have.
BTW, other crimes committed also result in fines etc. Drugs aren't the goldmine, you think they are.
Alcohol related crimes from public intoxication to DUI produce a large portion of revenue into any court system. In this state your assets "vehicle" can be seized for DUI also.
