54. Murderers and kidnappers
are laughing their asses off at you. Think back to prohibition. Do you remember who wanted booze to be illegal more than anyone? Do you? Right...the Mafia. Why? Because they could charge obscene black market prices. This also led to a massive ratcheting up of mob violence. So please pay attention to the history as it is DIRECTLY applicable to the current drug war. Keeping drugs illegal has allowed drug cartels to flourish, caused huge amounts of violence, and brought about incredible wasteful spending...all with no gain WHATSOEVER.

The history is there....learn it.
