When you consider that almost two thirds of the people in federal prison are serving time for a prohibition-related offense (and half of them for a first time, non-violent offense), the actual cost of prohibition begins to become obvious -- And we haven't even talked about how much money we spend on extra policeman, DEA agents, Judges, and lawyers. Federal and State governments spend nearly $40 Billion dollars on the direct costs of prohibition. But that doesn't include all of the extra spending on police and prisons, nor does it include other periphery costs such as loss of income due to incarceration, etc. Some people estimate the total cost of prohibition to be at least 70 BILLION dollars a year.
