From this link provided in the Reason link above:

Maerker: In Mexico, there are those who propose not keeping going with this battle and legalize drug trafficking and consumption. What is your opinion?

Clinton: I don't think that will work. I mean, I hear the same debate. I hear it in my country. It is not likely to work. There is just too much money in it, and I don't think that—you can legalize small amounts for possession, but those who are making so much money selling, they have to be stopped.

1. But, if you legalize drugs, you take the money out of it by
glutting the market with supply (drugs). Then these drug dealers won't be able to charge premium rates by smuggling the stuff into the country!

2. Willful ignorance of the history and facts of prohibition?
The long list of corporations and government agencies who benefit from "Teh War on Marijuana Smokers" is glad of her support and the check's in the mail.

Hillary is an embarrassment.
