they make more money off it being illegal, if you ever read through any articles on law, you will see that no sane man must honestly think that the current laws are justifiable, or any period of time for that matter. Did no1 find it odd that when the americans went in to vietnam, an ideal climate for growing opium, all of a sudden the mafia was racketeering heroin all over America, where do the drugs go after they are confiscated? Trust me if they believed they could make more money from it being legal, they would be dishing propoganda about the benefits of drugs left right and centre and would soon brainwash an entire generation in to believing that that is the 'right' way within a few decades, but the fuckers kno, the forbidden fruit must be tasted, the anti drug propoganda is more appealing than the pro drug, they list millions of side effects using very generalised words, and provokes the thought of 'why are they so bad?' and 'how bad could they really be?', theres a drug dealer on every street corner, and even tho they make a few big busts, they usually leave them be, and the busts are publicised like a bastard cuz they really wanna get that message across that they hate drugs and are against them, have you ever really questioned smuggling? shovelling kilo upon kilo over heavily guarded international borders and flightzones doesn't sound like a task that is easily concealed, if the motherfuckers really wanted to find the stuff, they would, and when they do they confiscate them (to where?), slap a big ass fine (but not too big) on the dealer and take all his money away to the tax bin, plus all casualties of the drugs (the crackheads, smackheeds, that claim that it is the drug that is fuckin them up) are no1's responsibility, cuz they told you not too, despite how many ever millions they are shelling out in the NHS to pay for the od's etc, they must be making far far more from the beneficial side of prohibition, the fines, the confiscation, for it to stay illegal, law isn't about moral justice, it is a guideline for a business, and if you can save money by tweaking them a lil bit, then you can sure as shit bet that it will be tweaked. Plus by doing this you don't have to control the purity of the substances, which equals more money.
