re: How does the U.S. control the value of dollar by soaking up drug trade money?

If so, does that perhaps explain why the FED can print money with little blowback? Just an offset of what we soak up from the drug trade?
I doubt it's a total offset.
I also imagine that the feds running big-time drug shipments is a way for 'non-budgetary' enticement of foreign officials.

I've never really looked at the War on Drugs from this point of view, which is really fascinating.
I've always wondered why our government has been 100 percent committed to the War on Drugs even though experts have long claimed the War on Drugs has been a total failure.
I've always wondered what secret motives the government had to continue the War on Drugs. I assumed the motives were far beyond my understanding: Perhaps foreign policy related, etc. Unless you were directly involved it would be nearly impossible to understand it. And I assume the government believes there's many different angles of benefit to continuing the WoD.
But I never considered this angle.
Very fascinating!
