“One of the alleged reasons for the war on drugs is to prevent money from getting into the hands of terrorists. But if drugs were legal, prices would crash, theft would plunge (drugs are expensive and addicts don’t have the money), and terrorists would not make anything off drugs. Millions in prisons would not be there, and the pension problem of states would be far less. Clothes would be made out of hemp, which has fiber softer than cotton. Hemp plants and seeds can be converted into biofuel far better than corn (which requires high quantities of fertilizer and water, and needs to be replanted every year). Yet the extremely costly war and economically asinine war on drugs continues. Why?”
