Keeping it illegal is big business. Think of all the police, lawyers, judges, prison staff, etc whose salaries depend largely on keeping it illegal. Keeping it illegal is just another way to fleece the taxpayers.

I watched American Gangster last night, and your post reminded me of this quote by Detective Richie Roberts at the end of the movie:

quote:

They don't want this to stop. It employs too many people. Cops, lawyers, judges, probation officers, prison guards... The day dope stops coming into this country, a hundred thousand people lose their jobs.
