As for the governemnt not gettin' kickbacks I just point out that Afganistan is back up to full speed in the gtowing and cultivation of their poppi crop... And under the watchful eye of the US military and CIA...

Right now keeping drugs illegeal is a big money thing for all involved, including the prison/military/industrial complex...

Only problem is is what is slowly happening is that the population, at least in the US is slowly being desensitid to a high per capita incarceration rate... This does not bode well for the future of a society that boasts about its love for lberty and freedom...

Plus it is very costly on many, many levels...
