    Prohibition in the ’20s made millionaires out of petty criminals and made petty criminals of everyday people.
    The drug war is doing the same thing today. Who benefitted most from prohibition? Guys like Al Capone.
    Who benefits most from the War on Drugs(tm)? Guys like Pablo Escobar.

    Don’t legalize marijuana. Then they can tax it and it’ll cost more than cigarettes.
