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.
Neither of ya are "getting it" it COSTS the US tax payer billions, this so called and completely unwinable "war on drugs", not to mention the lives lost, or prisons full. This cancer called the drug war is eating at the very core of society and affects everyone that reads this far more than any of us care to admit.
It goes hand in hand with the pay to have babies Johnson's "Great Society's" welfare system has, and will for hundred's of years to come. Pay the countries low life idiots to make babies and that is exactly what they did, by the millions.
Another fine mess gooberment has gotten us into, just like "two peas in a pod", as Stan or Ollie would have said.
